You definetly have a different situation that needs to be considered. I applaud you for being so open and seeking what's best for you.
I can tell you that met side effects are often a lot better if you eat cleanly (to keep your sugars controlled) and if you dose up really slowly. I would discuss the option with your Dr of dosing up ~ 250 mg at a time. Then as you tolerate each dose move up a little. Also, if you use a way of eating that keeps your sugars controlled, you give yourself a HUGE chance of eliminating problems (no pun intended...LOL). My side effects had been bad for a year...then i switched to the IR diet and rarely had a problem since. Eating in a way that doesn't counter act the drug (stable insulin) is a huge factor and I will never under estimate diet in my life again.
Good luck!
