take the slow release metformin, I couldn't handle regular metformin, was running to the bathroom every few hours... slow release will release slower, I had almost no side affects and can tolerate it. I kept rejecting the metformin until the doctor mentioned they had a slow release one, in my head I was like well why didn't you mention this years ago.

My sister is currently taking metformin, I refuse to and it's the only thing my doctors have been pushing the past 6 years. Metformin put my grandma into renal(kidney) failure after 6 months of use. All my life if my grandma is unable to use a product I can't either so I won't take the chance on that one. My sister has had no issues with it and has seen great results however.

I believe it can be reversed, with a health diet and moderate excercise, but it’s not easy.
