I know how helpful the talk of side effects of this common medication for T2D has been for me. (Big ty [USER=355878]@Resurgam[/USER]!)Reading of stomach cramps made me realise that's what was happening with me some days - I couldn't figure out what it was from. Now I'm pretty sure it's a from-time-to-time symptom of the met, as is some effect on my mood, and sometimes nausea. I am pretty sure after experimenting for a year, I am no longer being positively affected by it, outside of allowing me to more painlessly experience intermittent fasting regimes due to the appetite suppressant aspect, as in my fasting blood glucose levels have risen again, and are more affected by degrees of exercise I am engaging in, which is how it has been for me for the duration. I guess for some people it stops working as well over time? (And apparently it has only a 1-2% reduction affect on ones blood glucose at any rate.) (2% is at best.)Lucky folks who don't get the bad side effects, and they can see it positively affect their symptoms in their blood glucose readings. Not so me anymore I don't think. Oh well.</blockquote>
