[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2136222, member: 506169"] Hi Vic01, I feel that my experience is relevant even though unrelated to Diabetes and Metformin. I was on the maximum daily dose of Aspirin every day for nearly 20yrs without any stomach related side effects. Then suddenly I got sever stomach pain and found I couldn't even tolerate Ibuprofen either! So yes, you can suddenly get side effects from something that you have been taking without problems for many years - your body has just changed a little and that triggers it. In addition to trying a Slow release version of Metformin, I would suggest that you investigate whether you can use either Intermittent Fasting (16hrs fast, 8hrs eating) and/or a Low Carb High Fat lifestyle I have used the LCHF lifestyle plus occasional IF to go from diabetic to pre-diabetic in 4 months during which time I have lost over 11% of my body weight (without any additional exercise). I say LCHF lifestyle not diet because I did no conscious calorie restriction - just ate so as to control my Blood Glucose Meter readings. Good Luck, Ian [/QUOTE]
