    Default Anyone Take Metformin for Diabetes?

    If so, I just found out it has been added to Walmart's $4 plan!

    My DH takes it. Somehow or another, we get it for free at Wal-Mart. My insurance company has a list of medications that are free for certain diagnoses such as diabetes, hypertension, etc.

    I take metformin also for insulin resistance/pcos. It just kills me, but I'm trying to take it regularly. My stomach does NOT like it.

    Thank you for mentioning this. My DH is on it and our co-pay is $20 a month so I will be able to save a little at least.

    I was just starting about starting a new thread about PCOS, and here's some people talking about it! I take Metformin too ( when I can actually remember to), for my PCOS I only had the side affects from it the first day, and the 1 day that I took it without eating first

    I take it also, been using Walmart since I was diagnosed last December. I also get my test strips there for my co-pay which is $25.
