Hi there - I was diagnosed about 6 years ago and started on Metformin. About a year ago my GP switched my Metformin to slow release, which I take with my evening meal. What I have found happening on most days, is that the following day when I go to the loo, the tablet has passed through my body intact!! This is quite concerning and I am thinking of requesting a change back to normal Metformin when I next see my GP. I have mentioned to him that this has been happening once before, but he just looked at me as if I were mad and questioned what I had said as if I must have been mistaken, which I definitely am not. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this experience.
Type 2 does anyone else have this experience?

Do you take a morning dose as well, it normal the same thing happens to me my morning dose passes out the following morning.
It's meant to stay intact as it absorbs, rather than dissolve.
