[QUOTE="Chcaddock, post: 375579, member: 66171"] I was diagnosed type 2 three weeks ago and was put on Metformin 500g tablets, increasing from 1 a day for first week, 2 a day second week and I am currently on 3 a day. I was warned about side effects - unfortunately I am experiencing tummy problems which are a problem at work (luckily I have understanding colleagues!) and have currently stopped me from daring to leave the house for long! I have been told by a family friend who is a specialist nurse who deals with diabetic patients that the slow release ones would be better so I am seeing my doc tomorrow. However, as my mum is also diabetic and I know some of the issues she has had to deal with with not taking the correct medication all the time, I will put up with my body adjusting to the tablets in the short term rather than have potential problems in the long run. Just to also say, I think this forum is going to really helpful as I come to terms with my diagnosis, it has already helped answer some of my questions. I'm sure I will have plenty in future.
