[QUOTE="keithmarsden, post: 1637277, member: 450503"] Just started metformin having been diet controlled T2 for 9 years, but H1ac having now risen sharply to 64. Doctor therefore put me on one 500mg slow release metformin at breakfast and to move onto a second 500mg tablet with evening meal if bedtime readings don't become less than 10 mml/l. After a week bedtime reading 10.6 so will see next week if one tablet is enough. Questions: 1. Does 10 seem a reasonable bedtime target? 2. If needed... will it be better to have the two tablets spaced as doc advises... or together with evening meal as manufacturer recommends? 3. If I'm borderline, rather than go onto a second tablet I might ask to go onto one single 750mg tablet. Logic being I want to keep the two 500mg option for when I need it further down the road. 4. Is any brand better than any other? I'm on Sakkarto but have heard Glucophage recommended? Thanks Keith [/QUOTE]
