Welcome to the forum this a great place everyone is so friendly and supportive🙂
 
Hi Hector and Welcome,

I used to love Hector's House too, brings back memories! Wasn't Joanna Lumley behind the voice of Za-za! I digress......

METFORMIN. I won't lie and say it was a doddle because it wasn't! I'm on 2 x 500mg (half doze) and it hurt my stomach quite a bit at first. Persevere, your system does get used to it, and now, I hardly realise I'm taking it. I'm terrible at remembering though..

Good luck,
Donna 🙂
 
Hi Zaza and welcome to the site.
'Tis the best place for unbiassed advice based on a wealth of experience as well as useful source for relevant links.
Some folks are a bit zany, but I've yet to encounter any unfriendly or negative input (unless you count the mickey taking that appears to be rife amongst others)🙂
 
After my first week I could barely keep anything down when I took it, I called the doctor and he put me onto the slow release version since then no trouble at all 🙂
