Aly, My doctor is insisiting i try metformin again just as soon as i feel better. she says actos and avadian (sp) wont work for me. Last time i lasted 5 weeks on metformin and ended up with major intestinal bleeding. I tried four days of metfromin2 weeks ago and still not feeling good even though i stopped it. How can I start this imed again? I like this new endo i htink she is very very threwough and knows her stuff but i can't do this. Am suppose to strat metformin again this monday and i don't want to. but i don't want to be a non cooperative patent.
