نبذة مختصرة
Clinicians are aware of the risks and benefits of metformin in type 2 diabetes. In geriatric populations lactic acidosis due to diminishing kidney function is an issue.

This may happen due to gastrointestinal loss from metformin diarrhea or urine loss from diuretics. A typical example is presented.
