| Hi Kathy! Hello good evening and welcome to the forum, you have chosen a great site, been taking the drug for some 4.5 years, yes! had my problems with it as like any other, however, we're all different, see how it goes for you.
Metformin as like any medicine can have side effects, Metformin tablets are usually well tolerated, but sometimes they can cause stomach upsets such as nausea vomiting abdominal pain, diarrhoea, loss of appetite or a metallic taste, if such side-effects do occur, they often get better spontaneously so you should continue to take the tablets unless, your stomach upset is severe or show no sign of getting better after a few days, in this case contact your Doctor.

Many people will try to tell you what you can’t eat with diabetes.
Most will be well-meaning.
Rather than compounding the problem by telling you what you should
eat, I’d recommend a simpler method, eat by your meter.
