Message: <blockquote data-quote="kareeta" data-source="post: 341974" data-attributes="member: 330">Hi againJust an update to the initial post about my experience so far with metforminMostly negative to be honest or maybe because I've just had my HBAI1C results  :thumbdown: So I've been taking metformin over two months now and I've managed to get over the sickness , the heartburn is still prevalent and i've been taking laxatives several times a week as nothing was happening there (sorry if tmi) and I though the opposite was more likely to happen.A couple of low hypos my lowest ever reading of 2.1 which took some fixing!No need to lower any of my injections as I was still in the teens through the dayand most frustrating of all, my HBAIC in Oct was 7.0 me best result in the whole of the 14yrs dx , todays was 7.8...grrrr I'm so annoyed.More worryingly, if I ever miss a dose of metformin (only happened twice, and then taken later) my levels go stupidly high despite not eating many carbs. Does this mean I can never stop the metformin? So fed up</blockquote>
