[QUOTE="dfawkes, post: 2134322, member: 507258"] I've been on Metformin SR for two years and still have gut problems and diarrhoea. Sometimes they are mild and sometimes they are pretty awful. I finally saw a diabetes specialist at a major American medical centre and was shocked when I was told that MANY people have significant side effects and that if you do, they tend NOT to go away with time and that the extended release tablet rarely makes any difference. The only real solution is to switch medication. When I asked when more people aren't told this, I was told it was because Metformin is very inexpensive. [/QUOTE]
