I have been on metformin for many years and found it very helpful. I get the odd tummy cramp. Just joined this group. Looks a great group

Hiya, I have been on Metformin for years with no side effects, then they changed my tablet to Sukkarto, I'm guessing it's a cheaper alternative, hence the surgery making the switch. But I must say that I haven't had any adverse reactions or side effects, and I am assured by the Diabetic Nurse that there is no difference. That's the best I can do .... all the best and stay safe all.
