[QUOTE="keithmarsden, post: 1637732, member: 450503"] Update: 9years T2 diet controlled, pretty much all diet, exercise, weight options exhausted. Just started metformin 1x500mg slow release. After 1 week on taking tablet with breakfast, fasting 7.4 and bedtime 10.6 After 2nd week ( now taking with dinner) , fasting 5.9 ( better than expected)and bedtime 10.4(worse than expected) Do I give it another week? Follow docs advice to move to 2 tablets taken one at breakfast, one at dinner? Or: Go back to docs and ask to try intermediate dose of 750mg? (are the slow release , slow release over 12 or 24 hours?) Any advice much appreciated.Keith [/QUOTE]
