Hi,

I was on Metformin (Glucophage) at the beginning but my stomach didn't like it so I got the doctor to change it. I think it was replaced by an increased doze of Amaryl.

If you are paying yourself there is a negative cost impact as Metformin tends to be cheaper - at least it is my experience out here in Thailand.
