Yeah, it isn’t new news. I did a trial with it about five years ago and couldn’t tolerate even 250 mg. And among diabetics it has a pretty high failure rate due to adverse effects.

I’ve heard similar stories. My wife, however, is a type 2 diabetic and does very well on metformin (1000mg daily).

That’s too bad given it’s inexpensive. Seems to work my family

I've been using it for 45 years. Started with 250 mgs/day in late 1970s and was up to 4 500 mgs per day--never a sign of a problem.
Backed off to 3 500s/day since 2000 mgs is usual daily limit according to my MD.
Sorry to hear you had a problem with it--metformin is a truly remarkable medicine.

Many people do better with the extended release metformin.
