Metformin - Would you or wouldn't you

[R&G2007]

I am in two minds at the moment, I am due to go to florida at the end of October and can't decide what to do about taking my tablets.

Things have just sorted themselves out but I dont want to go on holiday and worry about what I eat or have any of the side effects whilst I am there.

Would you carry on taking them or stop while you are on holiday?

confussed

My FS is going to prescribe me with Metformin and Clomid at our next consultation. He just wants to do a few more blood tests before hand. I don't know why he wants to put me on Metformin as I don't have PCOS or insulin resistances?

I've taken Clomid before but what foods can't I eat on Metformin? and what are some of the side effects you girls feel?

Thanks x

R&G - we are going to California in September and I will be taking Metformin as always - 3 times a day 500mg.
I don't really have many side effects on the Met and don't think anything should change over in the States...

Why do you think you'll suddenly develop side effects, hun?

We are off to Florida and I find that their food choices are very limited
