[QUOTE="Unbeliever, post: 246530, member: 30851"] Hi again, I am glad o hear you don't have a heart problem to worrry about too. I was only speaking of alernatives to metformin. I understand that there is a liquid form of it which some find easier o cope with and there are alternative drugs which I am sure others will be along to tell you about.. I just wanted to say that it is ot an either/or situation with regard to the drugs you mention, They all do different things and work in different ways. It is normal for most of us T2s on meds to take metformin and if that alone is insuffficient to reduce our levels we may go onto ADDING something else like the gliciazide. Then if this doesn't work we may go onto a third level drug like pioglitazone usually with the metformin and possibly the second level drug too. If you google in the different drugs or use the search facility on here you will find explanations. of what each drug does. You are certainly not alone in experiencing those reactions to metformin. You didnt say whether it was the SR form or not? [/QUOTE]
