I've been taking Metformin and Janumet ( 1000 Metformin & Stilagliptin) for a little over a year . Twice a day.

I haven't ever had any of the side effects listed here.
I am very aware of side effects as when I was first diagnosed as a diabetic I was in complete renal failure.
So kidney and liver function is something I watch very closely.

But no weight gain. no gas and no diarrhea.

And taking pills sure beats shoving a needle in your tummy.
