last week i got the balls to email my doc and ask to switch my meds... and she let me! so now i'm no longer taking glipizide. i've been taking metformin er since friday. i had some gi upset the first day but not much after that. also, yesterday i started taking r-ala along with evening primrose oil and biotin. i need to remember to take my multivitamins... i read that metformin can cause a decrease in absorption of b12. i might have to just buy some b12 supplement to take. i don't wanna be deficient and have neuropathy. i hate pain.

my bs is higher than it was on glip but met takes a couple weeks to build up to see it working. i just hope that its not ruining my liver/kidneys and that i can stay on this med. i have to take labs in a week to find out. *crossing fingers*
