Unhappy Confused

Big D not a problem but odor is. I have a body odor on Metformin. I guess it is coming from my pores. I smell it and my husband has noticed it.

Ask your doctor about a med called "glipizide" (I think that's how it was spelled). It didn't work for me and I had to return to injecting. But it might work for you.

Was curious to know if there is a medication out there better than metformin.

My doctor has put me on the extended release version of Metformin and it has done wonders for my stomach.

My wife's Dr switched her from Metformin to Januvia and the results were amazing. Lowered her readings right away.

Started 2 days ago. Slight stomach issues so far but terrible headaches. Also really tired. Is this normal?

The extended release metformin stopped my digestive issues. My concern with metformin is my hair loss. Anyone with that problem? Am a 52 y o female

I had the same problem and my doctor switched me to metformin ER (extended release). Diarrhea stopped. This change may work for you.
