Metformin

Has anyone any experience of taking this medication, and any comments on its side effects?

jb Have you been diagnosed diabetic then? I take Metformin 500mg 2 after breakfast each day, have taken them for yeeeeears, Some people suffer tummy cramps & 'The Runs' but most have no probs at all (like me) you won't know until you're on them. Hope its fine for you.
