[QUOTE="KennyA, post: 2421528, member: 517579"] I'm not so clued up on Metformin, never taken it - others here will know much more. You might be thinking of lactic acidosis which is a rare and serious side effect of Metformin? The [I]Handbook of Diabetes[/I] says it can be avoided by not prescribing metformin for [I]"patients with renal, hepatic, cardiac or respiratory failure, or those with a history of alcohol abuse" . [/I]If you fall into any of these categories - in your shoes, given the way your surgery has dealt with you so far, I'd stop taking it and contact your surgery immediately. [/QUOTE]
