My husband (55 years old) just started using Metformine this past week due to a glucose of 134 (A1 of 7.4) and within a couple of days, what he thinks is a re-occurance of gout has kicked in. Started in his heal and now in his ankle. He has not had a gout attack this painful in many years. Can there be any chance that this medication could have initiated this?

Then would the lactic acidosis trigger the gout?
