[QUOTE="Unbeliever, post: 206172, member: 30851"] When I was taking 6mg of amaryl per day I read somewhere hat noone actually knew wheher taking more han the usual starter dose of 2mg actually made any difference but the usual procedure was to up the dose if the 2mg stopped working. At my recent review I asked the doctor if this applied to metformin too. It has never made any difference to my bg but I take it for its protective properties, As I take 2gms daily I wondered if a smaller dose would afford this same protection. She didn't know but didn't wnt me to lower he dose as I had just dropped another medication. Does anyone here know if a smaller dose of metformin , taken for cardiovascular protecion would be as effective as "mg? I don't need o lose weight and it doesn;t lower my blood sugar? [/QUOTE]
