[QUOTE="MrsGruffy, post: 1835897, member: 472571"] Metformin doesn't cause those side effects in everyone. I started on the SR type, 500mg twice a day, and after a few days, the dose was increased to 1000mg twice a day. I haven't had any trouble with side effects except for a growly belly at times, and when I took it with green tea in the morning rather than coffee with cream, I felt nauseous for about 10 minutes a half hour after I took it. So I've gone back to coffee with cream for the morning dose, and no more problems. I don't know how useful it is with keeping my BG down, because I've changed so many things about my diet in conjunction with taking metformin. I've read so many good things about the benefits of metformin overall, that I'm going to stay on it unless it's advised I stop it. Perhaps taking it with something containing fat will help a bit for those who have side effects, or perhaps I'm just really lucky. [/QUOTE]
