Tablets (oral)
4 x 500mg of Metformin
Sitagliptin
Forxega

the metformin is 2 500mg twice a day but its giving me bad trots... so im easing off
 
Are you on the metformin slow release. I'm on those, 2 in the morning, 2 in the evening.
 
Hi, I know some members take the Slow Release Metformin, SR, and feel better on that one.
 
* Metformin 500mg - 1 x morning & evening
* Januvia 100mg - 1 x morning only
*. Lantus Insulin - 16 Units Late evening

Originally started off with Metformin 1000mg twice daily but seemed to spend all my time staring at the loo walls (
) so doctor finally settled me on the above combination, which appears to be successful.
 
500 mg metformin.

The magnesium and Vit D Are more essential I feel.
 
3 x 500mg of Metformin (plus countless other meds for arthritis, BP and asthma and various supplements).

A lot, mostly heart tablets and copd inhalers see my signature.

I on 1 x 500 mg Metformin as I am reducing them down as I will be stop taking them completely in June.
 
None, though I'm open to the idea of taking them if I can't maintain a non-diabetic A1c.

Last A1c was 5.8% (US); 39.9 mmol/mol (UK). Just had another today. Hoping it will be in the non-diabetic range of 5.6% (US); 37.7 mmol/mol (UK) when I get the results next week.

I need to know how each meal effects my glucose levels. I fear if I begin taking medication, I'll ultimately end up increasing the dosage, perhaps the number of medications too, over time. So I'm doing my best to hold the line with a real, whole foods LCHF/Keto diet, testing sometimes 10 times a day, walking, and using intermittent fasting 9 days a month for gradual weight loss.

It's a challenge. I crossed over to T2DM in 2005 and am now in my late 50's.
