Metformin is tough to take. I've tried it twice. The last time recently with a new form supposed to be easier...but it wasn't.
If your A1C is good, I don't think you need it. But if your A1C is creeping up? Over 6.5? then you can try it.
Metformin interferes with B12, so you need to be taking that.
Lots of GI upset with Metformin. Besides the cramping and diarrhea, it also stimulates the gall bladder, so if you have stones or sludge there you may get gall bladder attacks.
