I put 'ineffective' because I have only taken this pill for 3 days. I am 'not satisfied' with it either, because of pain in the stomach and lower abdomen and having to run to the bathroom. I was taking metformin several years ago but stopped because the side effects were interfering with my work...my doctor put me on glumetza. Things worked for awhile but it was too expensive for me, so I stopped....

i take glumetza 500 mg extended release, the only side effect i am experiencing is a very gassy stomach, other then that, i notice a change on how i feel. i dont get that low sugar feeling. I guess i would rather have gas then feel bad.
