When I was losing weight I'd often oscillate, losing or gaining a kilo or so over a day for a week or so before it finally settled down to become a definite loss.  A lot of it can just be due to fluids.I'm on 2x500mg SR metformin a day, and I currently split my dose, and I have no unpleasant side effects taking it on my empty tum when  I don't eat breakfast.  It really depends on how your body tolerates metformin, and taking it with meals just helps avoid potential issues.  The SR version may well be better in this respect as you're getting the dose in very small quantities continuously 24 hours  a day - so whether you're actually eating or not.RobbityIf you've got stock cubes in the house try one of those in a cup of hot water instead of a meal (possibly with a little dash of cream), if you feel bit wobbly or hungry with just the coffee - this can also help keep you going without a proper meal.</blockquote>
