[QUOTE="dnfuss, post: 152744, member: 15487"] Your metformin dose is quite low, and so not surprising that you haven't yet experienced noticeable side effects. You may or may not experience them with increased dosage. But first things first: should you be taking metformin at all? Metformin is a drug. It is a relatively benign drug, but only relatively. All drugs have side effects. The therapeutic benefit of a drug should outweigh its risks, both known and potential. Treatment with metformin has been demonstrated to provide meaningful reductions in serum glucose where a patient presents with mild to moderate diabetes and changes in diet and exercise have proven insufficient. I do not believe it should be prescribed for the euglycemic patient for weight loss, etc., where its efficacy is modest at best. Do you have labs that indicate diabetes, even a mild case? [/QUOTE]
