[QUOTE="andcol, post: 491977, member: 96315"] Doctor took me off of metformin as I generated lactic acidosis and all of my arteries were burning, cramps in muscles all over my body, uncontrollable teeth chattering - absolute agony and highly dangerous; only way to alleviate the symptons was with more exercise to get the heart to process the lactic acid, but that had further increases afterwards. One of the consequences of metformin is the liver cannot process as much lactic acid into glucose and as I was on the start of a major exercise regime (having done nothing for 15 years) I was generating lots. I have noticed my fasting levels have gone up from 4.5 to 5.0 without them but I can live with that at the moment. [/QUOTE]
