I have zero experience personally with metformin or any other diabetes medication.  However I have unfortunately plenty of experience with both gout and neuropathy in my feet (both now largely resolved, I am pleased to say). With neuropathy my pain disappeared when moving, with gout the pain got much, much worse.I have never read anything about metformin causing or triggering gout. Bilous and Donnelly in the "Handbook of Diabetes" say only that metformin can cause lactic acidosis (which can be a serious problem) for some patients with certain other conditions. I think you should raise this with your GP or diabetic nurse.</blockquote>
