[QUOTE="Fraddycat, post: 358700, member: 46145"] Hi Mrs Portion, I agree with Denise, Metformin does not make me fart, and I would not want to take extra tablets (I already take quite a lot!) so if you can cut back on your carbs especially fruit then Metformin is not too toxic. I have found that it can make my stomach upset if I don't take it with food, so would recommend taking it with food if you can. You asked earlier if you will be able to reduce/stop taking metformin in the future. Well I would say if you can really improve your numbers you might be able to reduce your dose but as far as I understand it Metformin has heart protecting qualities so you may not want to stop it completely. Diagnosis is a complete head mess, but we have all been through it and can totally identify with how you are feeling. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
