Been on Metformin for about 6 years. Have observed no side effects. Very effective until in hospital for hip replacement when they fed me mashed potatoes and fruit salad, and controlled (?) levels with insulin. Shot up to 170. When I fussed at the house doctor about diet etc the response was 170 is not all that bad. Control has been more difficult since. Before hospital experience, 104 to 125. Now in the 140s. See what the doc says next appoointment.
