    This information was very helpful in educating me on the issues of the medicine and my condition.

    Yes, I have type 2 diabetes, and I take metformin. But my biggest problem right now is the numbness in my feet. I feel like I'm wearing tight fitting plastic gloves on them. This is not a fun problem to have and I wish parents would watch what their children are eating. I live in So. Ca. and see to many young ones so fat they can't even get around. Believe me if they don't do something about it now they will pay for it in the end. Sincerely, Beverly
