(copied from previous query re MetSR) I was prescribed metformin almost 20 years ago and found my stomach was greatly affected. My doctor changed my prescription to metformin SR and while that helped it did not completely ease the issue. I was then given 20mg Omeprazole to take once daily and...

I found my fasting readings in the morning never consistently got below 7. and were usually between 7 and 9. I tested at night and got reading in the 5's so was puzzled what was happening in my sleep. Fortunately my DN told me that when you wake in the morning some people get an adrenaline rush...
