Question
What are the side effects of taking metformin regularly? I have diabetes, peripheral neuropathy in my feet, and toe pain. I’ve had diabetes for twenty years.
Answer
Long-term use of metformin generally has minimal side effects, mainly mild gastrointestinal reactions. Doctor’s question: Are there any discomforts you are experiencing while taking metformin? There are many causes of pediatric diabetes. If a child is diagnosed with pediatric diabetes, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should also be cautious not to allow their children to develop picky eating habits and should have a balanced diet.
