Hi, just been put on metformin but also on novorapid as dns says got some insulin resistance , also on various other drugs. Is amlodipine,losartan,clopidgril, atoravastatin,co codamol, lanzoprazole, I'm worried about the side effects of ,the metformin along with the insulin, also been told that I should not drink alcohol on this medication as it can cause lactic acid .anyone got any advice. Ps. Not taken any metformin yet.

Hi @tawsy1 That sounds like quite a combination - as no one here is a medical professional I would suggest seeing your GP to discuss this with them, from a medical pint of view they are better placed to discuss side effects with you.

hi there
I take losartan , simvastatin , felodipine , omeprazole ( so very similar to you )
( but not the co codamol or metformin)

there are other type 1's on the forum taking both met and insulin

the alcohol avoidance might be because of the co codamol.
