[QUOTE="Ian-J, post: 1450213, member: 358739"] Hi all, At docs yesterday off the back of my recent HbA1c test and she was obviously happy at my figures. She suggested I could come off Metaformin and try just the diet, but I said I was reluctant due to my existing retinal problems and also the haemorrages detected when I was first diagnosed........she agreed. I then said I wanted a different drug because I get ill with the Metaformin, so I've been prescribed Metaformin "Modified Release"........and she said I shouldn't get anything like the same side-effects. I asked if the drug would have the same direct effect and she said yes.........I can only guess that Modified Release is a lot more expensive otherwise they'd be giving it everyone. She also mentioned that Metaformin is the "best" drug. Ian. [/QUOTE]
