Type II Diabetes and Metformin

[~Jennifer~]

My doctor called and said since I have already stopped the Metformin 500mg that I need to do heavy duty excersice, eat right and check my blood sugar, I haven't checked my blood sugar in the last couple of months because strips are so high.

So I'm thinking of trying Metformin again and just put up with the side effects till they subside. What do you think?

This board is a little slow if I don't see any replies I will probably post in the depression forum. Thanks for reading.

What type of side effects are you having?

I've been using metformin since 2001. I use 1,000 mg twice a day now and insulin.

Going back to the doctor next Tuesday to get a checkup.
