[Diabetes-talk] A Metformin Question

[Bill Lewis]

Hi I have been on Metformin for 8 years.  I have read now and then that 
Metformin over time damages the liver and can cause some memory problems. 
But I have noticed none of those in myself, and annual physical evaluations, 
plus diabetes evaluations every four months have shown nothing negative 
except for my troubles keeping calory intake evenly distributed.  KnowKnock 
on wood!

However, research on meds is ongoing, so I will keep watching out for 
official indications of medication interactions. - Bill Lewis
