Metformin alternatives?!
Question: Metformin alternatives!?
My doctor took me off the minimal dose (500mg) of Metformin due to a concern about some minor kidney issues (I hope) And he wants to see how my A1c's are without it, I've been under 6!.3 for 4 years with the last 4 A1c's at 6!.0 but in the event I need another oral medication that won't interfere with my kidney functions, what are some others that are being prescribed!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
