[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1087681, member: 94045"] Yes, of course side effects don't affect everyone, as with all medications, but I wasn't trying to advise the MiL, I was trying to advise the poster, who is not resisting taking medication. I should have expanded on what I said by suggesting side effects may well be the reason she isn't taking the tablets. This is exactly what happened with my own mother who was prescribed tablets for a chronic illness, not taking them and hiding them away in a cupboard so I wouldn't notice. It took me a lot of persuasion before she admitted they had been making her nauseous. I thought the poster, being Type 1, may not know a great deal about Metformin. I apologise if my post was in any way misleading. [/QUOTE]
