[QUOTE="Pinkorchid, post: 1217816, member: 166283"] I think telling people to take 2000mg of Metformin is pretty standard but some can't take that much. The side effect for me on 2000mg of Metformin was indigestion and it reduced my appetite to almost nothing so I lost weight that I did not need to. Now I take 1000mg a day of the slow release one and can cope with that my appetite is still not what it was before Metformin but is better on the lower dose . My GP is happy for me to stick with the 1000mg as my BG levels are good she says any amount of Metformin is better than none at all because of it's protective properties for the heart etc [/QUOTE]
