I have been taken metformin for 7 years without any side effects. It works for me. The key for me was losing weight (26lbs) and moving to a low carb diet to avoid whites such as pasta, rice, bread, cereal. etc. I was able to reduce my medication to 1 500MG twice a day plus 1 glipezide. My BG is in the morning is better now between 70-100 when I exercise the night before. Before, it was 125 and higher. My objective is to reduce doses and eliminate it if possible. Hope helps!
