My GP has just changed my meds frem metformin 500x5 times per day to glucophage 1000x2 times Does any one have any experience of doing this and any effects this will have .I have been having the usual toilet troubles on the mets! I have got my bgs down to 6-7 after 6months of the mets and low carbing so I dont want to change this except for the better. CAROL
 
Glucophage is the trade name of Metformin. They are the same drug.

If you have gut problems the long acting version is meant to help.

Is it the long acting glucophage you have been put on?
