Metamucil (sugar free) does the same. Not many know about it, Even some doctors seemed surprised when told. Works for hubby. T2 controlled for several years. I think the dr put him on Metformin first but that one is not good. Gone up in price, but large amount seems cheaper than this.

In May 2020, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)Trusted Source recommended that some makers of metformin extended release remove some of their tablets from the U.S. market. This is because an unacceptable level of a probable carcinogen (cancer-causing agent) was found in some extended-release metformin tablets. If you currently take this drug, call your healthcare provider. They will advise whether you should continue to take your medication or if you need a new prescription.

Metamucil works extremely well; I’ve been using it for 4yrs, since I was declared a Type 1 diabetic; now Type 2.

I’m concerned about the 2nd part of your post — Metformin being a carcinogen. Do you have anything further on it?
