That dose rings a bell.@ickihun - Vicky, I have just checked/read up on the Internet about Metformin and maintenance dose is 2000mg daily.
Maximum dose is 2550mg daily.
That's interesting, will have to check/ ask my GP if my dosage could be increased by an extra tablet of 500mg at Lunch Time? - I take a 1000mg at Breakfast and then another 1000mg at Evening Meal (plus the Insulin daily). Hmm
It was difficult for me to increase at the stage i was at because i was told 2300 was maximum on long lasting one. I was taking 2000 but after a shock i experienced in my life my tummy was never the same. Metformin made it worse. Then it stopped working on high none sugar carbs. Which i didnt realise til recently.
If im given it back i would have to eat only lchf and low fiber.
Pre metformin only chocolate released me. I was bunged up when no sugar or high fiber diet.
If i eat none sugary carbs with no meds I'm perfect. But high bgs. Add weight.
I lose weight keeping my bgs low but not too much insulin.
No carbs except veg and not high protein. Pork scratchings seem to help me.
God im weird!
I've just had a thought.....
If carbs, the staple ones (bread, pasta, potato) spike late how can our 2hrs after reading be accurate? I'll post a new thread.
