I was on metformin for the first 6 months of being diagnosed. While on it I didn't notice any side effects, but I did lose a lot of weight, not sure if it was the mess or me exercising. I've been off it for 1 1/2 years. I will say the long winters in VT are tough to get my walks in. My numbers / weight go up during winter. As long as I stay active my numbers have been good. Hope this helps .
