I’m new to Metformin. What are some of the problems you had while on it?

Upset stomach and Lactic acidosis.

I was taking Jamumet which is a combination of Metormin and another drug to increase the amount of insulin.

When I first started taking it I started to develop symptoms of Lactic acidosis, so I stopped for a week and cut my dosage in half until I could tolerate it better

I believe Lactic acidosis is under reported and it can be a very dangerous condition if you aren't aware of the symptoms

Look it up if you are on any form of Metformin

I was told about that but since I’m on an Atkins type diet, not experiencing it.

I eat NO sweets now and cut out potatos and most bread. I’m learning to love proteins and veggies. And rice.
