metall taste

So many possible causes - medical conditions, side effects of medications / treatments etc. If you're taking any medical, it's worth checking patient information leaflets to see if metallic taste is mentioned in any.
 
Can be down to medication you take.

Metformin is known to cause this metal taste for some individuals. My hubby (also T2) had this when first diagnosed & started metformin.

Thankfully when I was picked up with T2 I didn't.
 
Several drugs including antidepressants can cause this side-effect... and so can a dodgy filling.
 
Side effect of medications, conditions and also sign of pregnancy
