I really hope this works out for you. As for me I would practically saw off a leg to get my Dr to take me off metformin. This appointment I am going to push the issue and I don't care if my Dr. likes it or not. I am fed up with these diabetes pills especially since the other one put me in the hospital. I want to go on insulin and might just refuse to take anymore diabetes pills until someone decides to listen to me and put me on it.
