My observations:
1) Metformin cause me to have BAD intestinal problems (gas, bloating, diarrhea)
2) weight gain. Once I got off, dieting started to work again.
3) Metformin can cause pancreatitis (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3106398/) I had a bout of pancreatitis but from a different cause. However, I was not going to take something that would aggravate my pancreas.

5) My personal observations of individuals 5 years and 10 years on Metformin showed significant degregation in their overall health
That’s what I am now seeing in my daughter. Thank you
