....I've been a member here for a couple of years but only active the last few months so I still have a few questions,,,
..I take metformin SR 500, one twice a day but how long lasting is the active ingredient....?
I'm asking because I've always been told to take it with meals but twice in the last two weeks I've taken it but then not had my meal in the evening till over an hour later [visitors] and my bs level two hours after my meal has been lower than it normally is when I take it with my food.
Soo I have a twofold question...1] .it doesn't upset my stomach so is it ok to permanently take it on an empty stomach as my levels seem to be better and 2] just how long lasting are metformin SR...???
For information, I take my morning one about 10am with breakfast which I have at work, can't face breakfast earlier than that..
