I'm sure this is a very common question here, but here goes!
I have been diagnosed with T2 for just over a year.
I have taken Metformin from day 1 - with all the associated tummy problems!
Last month I was changed to slow release and although not perfect it certainly suits me far better.
I am also over weight and need to lose about 4 stone.
I am in my late 50s, work part-time and have recently joined a gym to increase the exercise I do.
But ... in the last month I have started to put on weight - it does tie in with starting the slow release, but I'm not sure if this is a common side effect.
Any ideas or any suggestions with the weight problem?
I'd be very grateful!
Thank you,
