| I was on Metformin for over a year and liked it...
THEN, I had diarrhea for five (5) weeks and I don't mean mild... At first I thought I had a bug, then lactose intolerance. Finally last Thursday I thought to stop the metformin and it went away! My numbers were higher than I wanted so went back on it on Saturday and diarrhea again on Sunday so NO MORE metformin for this diabetic. I called my Doctor and am waiting to hear about increasing my Lantus and maybe Humalog, too...
Looking online, I did find some references to late onset diarrhea caused by metformin. I'm just so happy it's over though. I was up some nights every 15 minutes and ... Urgh... No one would like to be having for 5 wks.
