Returning to metformin

I was on metformin for many years until it caused gastro intestinal problems.
Now I take double the amount of insulin with the weight gain from unused insulin stored as fat.
Never been overweight.
Soon it will be 3 months away from metformin and am thinking of returning to it in the hope my body will accept it.
Have others tried this ?
Thanks all.
No good medics here esp on diabetes!
 
Hi. I’ve been T since [emoji[emoji6][emoji6]][emoji[emoji6][emoji6]][emoji6]. Diagnosed when I had a MI. I had been on metformin ever since till years ago when I had a triple bypass. They took me off metformin and gliclazide to protect my kidneys. I am now on slow insulin twice a day and rapid insulin before every meal. I have not really put on weight and my blood glucose is far more controlled. My average HBAC is [emoji6][emoji[emoji6][emoji6]]. And my kidneys have stabilised.
