Hi all,

After your experiences.

I have been for my first check up since diagnosis 3mths ago. Have been taking one 500mg metformin with brekkie.

Pleased to say I have gone from bs level 7 to 6,5

I thought my dosage may stay the same for another 3 mths but doc has upped my dosage to go with 2 x 500mg this week and then to 3 the week after If side effects are OK.

Does this sound normal to any of you out there or with similar experiences?

Hes really pleased with my results too. Xx

I started on two 500mg then three months later increased to four 500mg a day so I think it is fairly normal - I think the blood tests every three months are to monitor the blood sugar levels until such time as they are in the good zone and being maintained, although I have yet to get to that point, I am sure other people might be better qualified to give you answers.

Well done to getting them down in the first place.
