[QUOTE="wellwell1212, post: 211152, member: 23625"] I'm interested to read some of the comments from fellow T2 sufferers, on the effectiveness of Metfartin. I have been on a regime of x2 750sr Metformin and x2 Glicacides a day for many moons, kicked Actos into touch a few years ago. I know it does a different job from say Glicacide but, I tend from around 10yrs diagnosed experience of treating T2 with this drug, to support the premise that it falls in the cheap and cheerful bracket. It mostly just seems to make me fart, I don't see much obvious benefit from 10yrs experience in using it. My 3-month levels has hovered around 7 =/- for most of this time before and after diagnosis. Glicacide certainly lowers blood sugar levels but, not too keen on its side effect of fluid retention and weight gain and possible long term panc damage. I'm interested in trying one of the new drugs that are out but, worried about this after the Actos experience :roll: .... Interested to hear from experienced T2 sufferers, on the options away from Meta and Glic ? [/QUOTE]
