Hi, does anyone have any experience with metformin? I am getting terrible side effects (diarrhoea, sorry) and thinking of trying something else to control my blood sugar levels. Can anyone recommend other meds that works well? Any advice is appreciated!! thanks x

Hello all,

I've started having some stomach issues and a sort of copper taste in my mouth and I was wondering if it could be the metformin... I'm not sure why it's started all of a sudden like this. Has anyone else been through this?

Thanks
