Is there a "normal" dosage of Metformin?

Friends, I've been on 3 x 850 mg metformin/day for years, but I was told this week that the max daily dose has been revised to 1g/day and I've been reduced to 2 x 500- anyone else heard about this?
 
Well I am taking 2x1000mg Metformin SR (Glugophage) and there has been no suggestion of changing it.
 
 
I am currently on 500mg a day of Metformin SR. At diagnosis my HbA1c was 78 and was put straight onto Gliclazide 80mg a day, that was then reduced to 40mg and then taken off and put on Metformin which my body did not like and now I have been on Metformin SR. Still having issues like nausea, loss of appetite and weight loss but back at the doctors tomorrow.
