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.
