2500mg of glucophage i think is the maximum. 6.3 for HBa1c test means u are in the normal level. 7 is the upper ceiling.

soaps on telly and people talking about the characters as if they were real.
My Hb a1c has been in the range 5.1 - 5.8% for the last 8 years and I use 2 x 500mg Glucophage SR per day. This is plenty when I rely more on my low carb diet for control than on medication.
How much you need depends on what you eat and your activity levels.

My diabetologist advised me to take 500mg of glucophage per day since I was able to control now my blood sugar. Last year I was taking 1500mg of glucophage plus diamicron.

No more soda, no more high sugar level foods.
