[QUOTE="munkee, post: 2421552, member: 542263"] Hi I am also pretty new to all this, had my first HbA1c which was 54 ... put straight onto metformin twice a day. Cholesterol was ok at 3,9g. Since taking the metformin i have lost weight, but i have also cut out completely all sugar. Since taking the Metformin have started with a rash on hands on feet and have also had this weird feeling in my calves like tightening and burning - I was advised that having only taken the Metformin for such a short time it was unlikely to be Lactic Acidosis but might be a B12 deficiency which seemingly is common. Have only had it a couple of times but was really painful. Fast forward to my 3 month blood test and have managed to drop my HbA1c to 42 which is almost normal but cholesterol is now up to 4.5 so need to focus on that now. Also been advised to stop Metformin completely to see if that is what is causing the rash and also the pains in legs. [/QUOTE]
