Metformin / Sitagliptin 2018-02-25 Person 5 5 0

Some while ago I had the misfortune to develop polymyalgia - if you don't know what that is, 'living hell' is a fair description - and the side effects from the steroids curing that tipped me over the edge into mild class 2 diabetes, for which I was prescribed Metformin. They have been of immense help to me since then in stabilising things and I've had no problems with them. Fortunately I only need a very low dose, but know someone who experienced a very severe diabetic attack and told me that her Metformin sorted things out within a very brief space of time; clearly they are very effective. The only problem I find is the size of the tablet - should I have throat trouble, such as recently following a hip replacement operation, they can be difficult to swallow although cutting them in half helps.
