A simple question can you just stop taking Metformin or should you reduce it slowly. A friend of mine, no its not me, has recently been diagnosed Type 2, (219 mg/dl 12.2 mmol/L) and was stuck straight onto Metfornin with very little guidance. He has been taking it for the last 4 weeks, but in...
The insert for metformin says to stop taking it and call your doctor if getting any of the lactic acidosis symptoms, and I'd take that very seriously. It's not a "push through it" symptom like the GI stuff, but something which can be pretty dangerous.
Hello Everyone, I've decided to stop taking Metformin. My last Hba1c was 31, the previous one 33. I asked my GP if I should withdraw from it gradually but she said it's ok to just abruptly stop taking it. Did anyone else do this and did they have any withdrawal symptoms?
I am not having a problem with taking Metformin with coffee before work, and then keeping going until 2 pm. This should keep my circulating levels of Metformin steady, so when I do eat its not going to give me high blood glucose?

I cry at nothing when I mess with my 2000mg of metformin. Obviously if I'm having a tummy bug I have to stop it but until back on full 2000mg I'm as sensitive as a baby. I've taken metformin for decades firstly for polycystic ovary syndrome but for diabetes off and on for nearly 16yrs. My hormones are settled on metformin. Unsettled without!
I found Metformin’s greatest benefit to be in taking the edge of the dawn highs. One of its key functions is to discourage the liver from pouring glucose into the bloodstream with reckless abandon, and the liver tends to do this in the early hours of the morning, assisted by cortisol and adrenaline.
Originally I was taking Metformin Hydrochloride 500mg .My BS (Blood Sugars) were high at the time I was diagnosed and I was drinking large amounts of water and peeing lots. I also started to have severe diarrhoea and stomach cramps. Being overweight made my BS's worse and symptoms worse. Eventually I got to see my Diabetic Nurse, who was really ...
Research in Sweden with Metformin has found that it protecets against Cancer. They are even trying it now on Cancer patients since it has been found to regress tumours.
