Been taking metformin for about 25 years for type 2 diabetes, 2x1000MGS daily. Never had any side effects. It has, however, been very helpful in maintaining my A1C in the normal range for a non-diabetic.. I've had my B12 level checked several times and it is in the middle of the desirable reading . One side effect I might have is, since I will be 79 tomorrow, is the longevity effect metformin is now being tested for. I'm 5 years older now the the 2nd longest lived person in my immediate family. Of course I don't know if metformin has anything to do with the. From my experience metformin it is a safe, effective and inexpensive drug. No reason to fear taking but yes, you may or may not have side effects, like with any drug.......

you forgot to mention the depletion of vitamin B12 absorbtion in the blood while using metformin and the need for supplementation if taking long term.

I stop taking metformin for three months. I was taking 1000 mil per day. When I start up again because my blood sugar was up. I experience diarrhea. It was awful. Now the doc told be to take half a day for two weeks then increase dosage gradually. I have done that and now I am too 1000 mil again. I have to lose weight or else.
