| Hi Traci.
Lactic acidosis is quite rare, ask your doctor if he thinks you are at risk.
I understand being scared about the side effects of medicine. But you also need to understand the dangers of high BG levels and their direct connection to various complications of diabetes. Going blind, losing limbs, kidney failure etc. are all pretty scary too!
What other people do, how they medicate, and what their results are unfortunately can't be used as a yardstick as to how well they would work for you. We are all different.
Please get your BG levels down. There are millions of type 2 diabetics taking metformin.
You should have a serious talk with your doctor about all of this. If he doesn't have time for you then you need a new doctor.
