[QUOTE="redmate, post: 312421, member: 48426"] hi :D i have been on metformin for about 4 months now after finding out i had been misdiagnosed last year. i have managed to get my hsb1 down from 93 to 71 which in three months was with diet and exercise but then was advised to go on metformin. i had terrible time with bad stomach but manged to put up with symptoms till they died away month later but after another month or so stomach came back so i spoke to nurse and requested to go on slow release and seems to have helped and gone down to 68, but i found that the weight i lost all went back on even though my stomach was extremly bad!! is this normal as i was so pleased to have got that far :( also they now want me to go onto simvastatin but i am worried about if will cause hype's as i work in a cash enviroment and need to know if or how bad you can get dizzy spells as i already get them normally and will these cause weight gain as i see some types do. though i have heard some people lose weight so has anyone got any advise for me please thanks [/QUOTE]
