[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1401416, member: 21149"] Hi. The reason to gradually increase the Metformin is to avoid the possibility of bowel upset in the first few weeks. Most people seem to be advised to go up a step each week to reach the maximum dose you have been prescribed. It's not critical but reduces the risk of any upset. Daisy will be along shortly with good advice for Newbies. BTW be careful with any diet advice in the booklets you have been given as some areas of the NHS are still in the dark ages with regard to diet advice for diabetes - just follow Daisy's advice.
