Hello
I have two comments I would like to make.
First I used to suffer from dry skin on my feet. For some time I have used CSS foot cream from Boots Pharmacy, about £7 per tube but you only need a small blob for each foot. It works very well for me.
Second. One of my surgery Doctors decided to change my metformin to Gliclozide. What a nightmare I had for six weeks. I was so sick and so tired I had to cancel so many meetings and events. Back to my own Doctor who put me back on Metformin at a slightly increased dos
age. I am fine again and back to running around. 77 year old.

Hi Iamembe,
Metformin also extends life expectancy as a side effect!
