Lack of side effects is NOT an indication of a drug's effectiveness. Just keep taking it, and in 3 - 6 months repeat your labs. THAT is the only way to know if the drug is affecting your chemical levels.

Melanie,
It's all good. Some literature on metformin says that only 30% of patients have the side effects. It is certainly not necessary! You must be eating with the tablets or have a tough gi tract and are able to deal with the medicine better than some gals. The positive effects of the met are a totally separate thing.
See you around the boards,
Sheri
