The extended release is a far better choice for me. The GI side-effects are minimal. The regular Metformin caused severe GI side effects - diahrea & nausea. My symptoms cleared up immediately on changing to the extended release form.

I was diagnosed with type two diabetes about 2 years ago. I was perscribed metformin and took it for about 6 months. Within the first 2-3 months i lost about 45lbs. but after that i mabye lost another 5lbs. in 4 months. Lookking back on my exsperience with metformin I would have rather not have taken it. The stomach aces and diarrhea were terrible. i only lost 45lbs. because i could not eat. i was not myself during those 6 months because i was sick and extremely tired all the time. after commming off the metformin i gain all of my weight back plus some more, all within about 4-5 months. my diabetes went away and has not come back so far. Metformin is a good quick fix but long term it ended up making things worse
