Does anyone have experience of taking Metformin?

I had my diabetes clinic today - doing well generally, good blood sugar control and no black marks on any of the other things except being too heavy. (Sigh) The doctor suggested, however, that I might start taking Metformin, which reduces insulin resistance. As I have polycystic ovaries as well as Type 2 diabetes, it looks like a good bet. But I wondered if any of you have any experience of this and could tell me how it has worked for you?

I'd be interested to know how he feels about it. I'm quite impressed by the pro-Metformin stuff I've read, but I'm also pleased to be able to have the blood sugars under control through diet only, so...
