Reaction To Metformin In Elderly Patients

My husband had been on Metformin for 20 years....became exhausted, couldn't think, & could barely move. He's on insulin now and feels better.

Hello Jerry,

I'm glad that your husband is on the mend.

Did your husbands doctor state that the medication is what was causing him to be ill or was it that he needed insulin? I'm curious because I wasn't able to find any case studies that mention anything about causing issues to the bodies ability to produce insulin.

I hope you have a wonderful day.
