Hello :wave:
I have was diagnosed prior to Christmas and given twice daily 500mg Metformin by a newly qualified GP.
I ended up just totally not sleeping, feeling sick all the time, experiencing pains in my feet and toes, none of which had I been experiencing previously and because of the lack of sleep ended up feeling really depressed...I returned to my GP and he stopped my meds altogether and re-ran the tests and it turned out that the previous guy had been a little over zealous as I was actually on the high side of pre-diabetes at 6.5
In order to not topple over the precipice my GP and I have decided to put me on 1 x 500mg of Metformin per day to be taken around the time of my main meal, and retest in 3 months.
My sleep, I now know, is dependent on when I take the tablet (if I take it after say 7pm - NO SLEEP)
What I am basically trying to say is if you experience ANY problems see your GP and discuss the options, because as brilliant a these people are, each of our bodies can and will react differently to medication and may in many cases need adjusting to get the best results. :thumbup:
