[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1899399, member: 355878"] I too had dreadful side effects from Metformin. Fortunately I can't see any need to take it, my doctor just wrote out the prescription for statin and Metformin, no advice at all - but I went straight back to low carb eating - after 6 months I was at the top edge of the normal range, hope to go lower eventually, but after 5 weeks I was so unwell I just stopped taking it, I was getting normal BG levels according to my meter, so thought that was good enough. I just checked my levels to be sure that I am still doing well - 5.7mmol/l, looks OK to me. I ate 50 gm of carbs a day to get BG down to normal, but am trying 40 gm for a while to try to lose weight.
