    What are the prescribing guidelines for metformin

    I doubt I will be able to control my levels with diet alone. I'm not eating very much at all to keep my levels within the accepted ranges and even then I can be too high at 2 hours. I can't exercise due to ME/CFS, though I'm trying to increase my activity levels without exacerbating my ME...
