I found that if I eat half of my meal, take my Metformin, then eat the rest. I have no problems with the Metformin. If I don't...I have indigestion, liver and kidneys hurt ext.

My endocrinologist just took me completely off metformin. I only take 15ml of insulin now. The metformin had my sugar levels all over the place and I was eating a lot of food and sugars to keep me from having really low levels. Now that I've stopped it, I don't have the stomach aches and pains and I don't feel exhausted. I refuse to go back on this medication

Metformin made me so nauseous, cramps all over my body and dizzy and very weak! Just tried victoza and that gave me dreadful headaches! I felt like the back of my head was coming off!

Works pretty well for me - with pretty safe diet. Little carbs and no real sugar. Blood sugar avg 115-125. A1C - 6

I think I'm pretty close to getting of meds entirely! Not yet though. Strict diet + some homeopathic solutions. Also lost 50 lbs!

I've been taking Metformin since 2012 I'm reading all your post everyone and I know your pain and struggles. I discovered OPC3 and I started taking it as a customer and now I sell it. It helps me out a great deal and my feet are know longer killing me. My A1C finally has come down from 11 to 9.5 and I finally feel better.

Also what are some of you people eating? I'm looking for new ideals.
