A member asked:
Is lightheadedness and tiredness a side effect of diaformin? just started taking 2x500g a month ago for type 2 diabetes.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, it could be.: Diaformin (generic--metformin), can cause lightheadedness and fatigue. I would check your blood sugar, and make sure you're not hypoglycemic. If you feel very ill, i would see your family physician, as people can rarely develop lactic acidosis.
