My mother is taking it (for diabetes) and one of her doctors suspects it may be the cause of some long term diarrhea issues she has been having. But that is still to be determined. My mother is also having liver issues, and I had not heard about the lactic acidosis problem before. I will pass that along.

I'm on metformin for diabetes as well, and diarrhea issues are the biggest concern my doctor has. I can't tolerate too high of doses (when we tried I ended up laying in bed for an entire weekend because I felt so terrible), so I'm hopefully going to Ozempic or similar soon, but stomach upset and associated issues are the biggest reason to move onto another medication (or a lower dose of metformin combined with something like glyburide).
