Wow! 5.4…I have a long way to go at 6 LOL
I have been taking metformin for more than 2 years now. When first diagnosed…I was prescribed 500 mg metformin twice daily plus 2 mg glimiperide. On the first 2 months, I had the usual side effects like abdominal pain, headache, sometimes diarrhea…but after…it slowly went away. 6 months later, my doctor removed the glimiperide and a year after, my metformin was redused to 500mg once daily. I do not have any uncomfortable side effects anymore.
