metformin: I began Metformin a week ago to control what is referred to as borderline diabetes with a fasting blood sugar of 129. I am taking only 500 mg twice a daily and had the upset stomach the first couple days only. Coupled with Armour Thyroid and Iodral my cravings for sweets and spicy are much less and I have been able to stick to the diet for 1200 calories and journal for the past 7 days which is a record for me. After my last visit and B12 shot I have been told to double the thyroid if I began to feel tired after a few days again. 5 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

metformin: I have found this medicine for type 2 to work extremely well. I have had to use many other meds for my type 2 diabetes; and found myself on one heck of a roller coaster ride with high and low and no middle ground. This particular med is great for me, and it helps keep my appetite in control. The apeptite issue is from another med, that I will not mention 70 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you?
