If the side effects of Metformin had been manageable, I would have rated this highly as it's easy to use and does not require such regular blood sugar monitoring. However I have experienced extremely bad side effects for months with no impact on blood sugar levels. I have recently been switched to Gliclazide which has brought the blood sugar readings down quickly and is starting to eliminate stomach ache/cramps caused by the metformin.
