[QUOTE="DxHypo, post: 137497, member: 6088"] I got started on Metformin for the same reason after reading about all the good things it was suppose to do. I'm not diabetic either but I do have the "dawn phenomenon" where overnight fasting glucose is mildly elevated. Metformin didn't seem to help this at all for some reason. The gastrointestinal side effects that put many people off Metformin did go away after I switched to taking it post-meal rather than pre-meal. But the big issue I had which put me off my Metformin experiment is the fatigue. I'm not sure whether it was the acid load from buildup of lactic acid which was responsible for this or something to do with the way Metformin depletes B12. I never checked B12 with labs but I get plenty in my diet and take vitamins. For me, the fatigue side effect was enough to put me off Metformin. YMMV. [/QUOTE]
