There is a metformin here called Glumetza...it is what I am using now. It has much fewer GI side effects. They still come up for me now and then, but not like regular metformin can be!
Also a delayed release version may help if Glumetza is not available there. Sometimes just a small dose reduction helps.
Always take with food...alcohol and carbs make it worse.
It may help to have a glucometer, to see if the cravings are in fact low blood sugar. Also my doctor requires kidney tests every 4 months or so, to check for acidosis.
