I really really really don't like eating breakfast earlier than say 2PM.
But I also wanted to try my first metformin tablet somewhat early in the day, in case either the side effects turn out to be very nasty, or their main effect is more than anticipated and it will drop my BG's the rest of the day.
So I forced myself to eat a piece of soft cheese and a slice of liverwurst, hopefully this will provide enough of a cushion for the tablet.
Anyone remember how long it took before noticing anything after taking metformin?
I feel like I'm 17 again, waiting to see if space cake really does something. (Yes it does, and once was very much enough, never had it again!)
I never have noticed any beneficial effect of Metformin. Even after all the years of taking it, I have never known exactly what noticeable effect it is intended to have - other than diahorrea. If you do notice anything, would you put a note on here? Then I might be able to attribute something to it. Since I sometimes only have one meal, I don't always take the 2 Metformin I am meant to have. Maybe that has an effect on my, often, very high BG. Not sure.
