I have been on metformin for 26 years. Since starting I could not take more than 1.5g. My bgs ranged from 6.5 to 7.5 (more usual). Since Christmas (2023) the indigestion got worse and now had problems with galstones. I was then very ill with an infection relieved with anti biotics.
I noticed that after I stopped taking metformin for a few days I began to feel better had a word with my gp who said I could stop the metofmin for a month. I did and began to feel a lot better. Then went back on them on the second day I had a swollen liver and the gallbladder became very painfull. So stopped the metformin. now after 3 weeks I feel much better. I lost10kg in weight in this period but have started putting it back on again (phew). My bgs have go up to 9 in the morning.
I forgot to mention I have trulicity each week.
