Type 2 Metformin slow release

Hi Ali mark and welcome to the forum.
Metformin is a mild drug in that it doesn’t do much to directly change the effect of food on your levels, it instead works in the background to stop your liver chucking out too much sugar. I take Metformin twice a day, morning time I remember as I have other meds to take, but the evening one I just have a repeating alarm on my phone so I don’t miss It.
I think oatcakes may be too high carb for you, but it’s difficult to say without a reading before you ate to compare. You’re looking to have a reading of no more than 2mmol/l higher post meal but no higher than 7.8mmol/l in any case.

Edit for typo

Hi. Metformin SR can be taken at almost any time as it's not critical. It does work in the background and you won't see it's effect on any particular meal.

I am on so many tablets that I rattle. I got one of those tablet boxes, has to be big to cope with all my tablets, and I set my alarm.

When I was taking Metformin XR, I took them at breakfast and dinnertime as directed by my GP.
