Morning. Not sure if I'm on the right site but can anyone tell me, metformin SR, anyone who takes it have you noticed your bgs elevate on this medicine? I changed recently & noticed I never get any 5's which I used to be during the day, now it's 6's & high 7 or 8's in the morning, would it be better to go back to the bog standard? Thanks good day to everyone

Metformin SR turned my guts to liquid within an hour or so of taking them. I was almost totally incapacitated by the stuff and needed to be within a minute's run of a toilet at any time of day or night. I had no idea what effect it had on my BG as I was less concerned over testing than the race to the bathroom! Back on the standard stuff now and no problem.
