    Can I take an extra metformin

    Currently on 2000mg of Metformin in total, 500mg twice in the morning and twice in the evening with dinner. Would it be ok to take an extra 1 just as i go to sleep ? (In the hopes of lower levels in the morning ?) Thank you ❤

    Can't control diabetes.

    Hi everyone !
