I think the statement "Metformin can also exhibit renal toxicity; it may increase the risk of  cardiovascular events, although this needs to be traded against the  cardiovascular risks of uncontrolled glucose." needs a citation to support it and its possible magnitude. - [[User:Robert Badgett|Robert Badgett]] 14:52, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
