[QUOTE="heypapatooni, post: 1439885, member: 24208"] I went to my GP and asked for metformin a few years ago after having to take ridiculous amounts of insulin! ( I was diagnosed back in 1978) I did my own research on the internet and he was happy for me to try! I lost 5 stones in weight, but partly because I cut my carbs down further as the tablets cause me to feel sick. It took me two Years to loose the weight, but I have now kept it off for 5 Years and I'm happy to stay on it despite it's initial side effects of migraines, nausea etc. I did ask when I lost the weight if I should come off them, but was told no stay on because they are good for your heart. I take 4x500g a day. [/QUOTE]
