I was prescribed Fortamet 1000mg tablets to help manage my type 2 diabetes. I've heard a lot about the potential side effects, especially the more severe ones like lactic acidosis. Has anyone else experienced significant issues with this medication, or is it generally well-tolerated? I'm a bit nervous about starting it, so any insights or experiences would be really helpful. The doctor mentioned taking it with my evening meal, but I'm curious if anyone has tried taking it at a different time and found better results. Do the side effects usually get better over time, or is it something you have to deal with the entire duration you're on it?
