Thank you, Dr. Sam ! I am type 2 diabetic and take 500 mg twice daily. The doctor that originally put me on this medication told me to take it 15 minutes BEFORE breakfast and I developed all the symptoms that you described . The symptoms died out after awhile but the diarrhea would appear 2-3 times a week. I have started using Metformin your way and so far, no diarrhea. Thank you for all that you do for us and God Bless You!

I was diagnosed as Type II 3-1/2 yrs ago. They started me out at 2000 mg of Metformin per day and I had terrible diarrhea problems several times per week. Instructions just said “at meal time” so I was taking it just before eating. After several months they switched me to the ER (extended release) version which helped a great deal. I now take 1500 mg per day... 500 mg right *after* lunch and 1000 mg right *after* dinner. Now I only get diarrhea a couple of times per month but when I do, it comes on very fast and unexpectedly and pretty extreme. So the second I begin to feel like I have to go I have about 2-3 minutes to find a bathroom. Not fun

I used to take Metformin and was on it for about three to four years. It was nice. I didn't need insulin. Just Metformin and Glyburide. Then my kidneys failed. I was put on dialysis and my family was prepared for me potentially not making it. Well, I did make it through and the docs blamed Metformin for my kidney failure. Fortunately, my kidneys regenerated and I've had a GFR around 33 for the past 12 years. Thanks a lot, Metformin.

My family doctor seems to have only one stock phrase. "Next!" Or had. He's been 'unavailable' since covid became serious. In his waiting room a couple or three years ago, we were shocked to see a young woman run in with a toddler in her arms. The child was covered in a bloodsoaked towel - apparently he'd fallen from a garden swing and cut his head badly. As they only lived a street away she'd thought it best to rush him straight to their doctor. She stood there for about 5 minutes while 3 passing nurses registered no real concern. "Doctor will be out in a moment, I'm sure!" The doctor eventually emerged from his office with his last patient, looked around the room, including a distraught mother with a clearly injured child, and asked - in all seriousness - "Who's next?" I kid you not. Twenty people - of one voice, including more than a few expletives - left him in no doubt of the answer.

It's a good thing we've become more informed. My doctor has never checked my B12 levels and I was on 2,000 mg. I stopped once I saw that one of the metformins was recalled. Also, I've recently realized that metformin will eventually mess with your thyroid (hence some of the newer commercials for Type 2 meds say don't take if you've had thyroid cancer. I researched why that was and saw that Type 2 meds, including metformin, will have an effect on functioning of your thyroid). That's what happened to me. My doctor said that the "formula" is one med per decade of life, so pesumably I should be on 6 meds at 68. I told him the fact that there was a "formula" was the problem. I also took Glipizide for a few years, which worked great at lowering my numbers, only to be told years later by a Diabetes Educator that it wears out your pancreas faster. Isn't that something you should be told?

I think the main reason Metformin works is due to its laxative effects. Decades ago in the US, there were people using laxatives to lose weight and it supposedly worked. I guess if your food doesn't stay in the body very long, it won't have time to absorb as much, which means lower blood glucose.

Thank you for this video, Dr. Sam. I recently took myself off of Metformin after taking it for over 10 years. I did a lot of research and decided I wanted to try reversing my type 2 diabetes. Now I avoid all sugars and I completely changed my diet. I never eat breakfast anymore. I eat twice a day now. My diet consists of mostly raw vegetables in olive oil and Balsamic Vinegar for lunch, and whatever my wife cooks for dinner. I don't eat anything after 7:00 p.m. I'm also intermittent fasting, so I gave myself a window for eating between 12:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. My A1c went from 7.8 to 5.1without Metformin over the last 4 months. Needless to say, my doctor would rather I stay on medication. Where's the sense in that? Can you please do a video on Atorvastatin. I hear so many things about the side effects such as memory loss, dementia, and joint pain. Don't know if it's true or not. I decided to stop taking Atorvastatin last nigh for now. I have a doctor's appointment in two months and can't wait to see how that goes. Are you accepting new patients, just in case he throws me out?😊 Thank you in advance, Dr. Sam.

Hello Dr. Bailey, 6 years ago I was diagnosed as prediabetic, and I tried to lose weight with exercise only and not changing my diet. Of course, this did not work. Feb 2021 (Age 56 5’ 10” 270lbs) I had another physical and came up prediabetic again. My doctor prescribed Metformin, I was worried about taking it and decided not to at the beginning. For the next 5 or 6 months I lost 40+ lbs (230+lbs) by modifying my diet removing Sugar / Bad Carbs and Time Restricted Eating. Ran into a wall around May / June and decided to review Metformin again and I started to take 500mg of Metformin once a day. After testing better in Sept, my numbers are much better. I am no longer prediabetic. My doctor wanted to take me off the Metformin, but I told him that I wanted to lose more weight (20 - 30lbs) and asked if I could continue, and he said ok. I started listening to other Doctors (You) / Researchers (Dr. David Sinclair, Dr. Nir Barzilai) and I started to take 500mg twice a day. I feel like I am continuing to improve. I welcome your thoughts. Thank you.

Thanks Dr Sam - I really love your videos, and I'm gonna try that taking my metformin 15 minutes after my food. I'm T2 diabetic, high bp that's medicated, 2 heart conditions as well LOL, got a bicuspid valve and an enlarged aorta which they do keep an eye on... My UK NHS doc advised me to take my metformin 500mg 'WITH' food, been doing that for about 5 years now - tho no ill effects much apart from the odd touch of diahrea. Last week they just upped my dose last week from 3 tabs to 4 tablets. Just retired this year aged 61 - was a very busy bloke under a lot of stress the last 30 years, but now I've noticed I'm losing my appetite a bit! Need to lose a bit of weight anyway LOL. But I'm not eating much compared to when I was working as an electrician - quite heavy work. Although I know I'm overweight, I'm not obese according to the BMI chart! Take regular walks, just walked 3 miles today, do this about 3-4 times a week!

I'm grateful to the algorithms that suggested this video, as reliability is a rarity among videos on healthcare by quacks, where you certainly don't dissapoint. Thank you for sharing this helpful information. :)

This was very informative. Are we able to stop metformin once we have our sugar level under control or are we stuck taking it for life??
