[QUOTE="Daks, post: 766090, member: 158629"] Hey guys, Still trying to get to grips with all the changes and dietary needs but I'm feeling a bit more positive about everything, at least today. My doctor told me to start taking the metformin over the period of 1 month as 1 pill a day in the first week, 2 pills in the 2nd week, 3 in the 3rd culminating in 4 pills a day on the 4th week. I'm currently on my 3rd week, the doctor also told me to eat 3 times a day and no snacking in-between, now the medication states take with or just after food, so logically that's 1 after breakfast 1 after lunch and 1 after dinner. My question is: If I have my last pill after dinner about 6pm it's going to be about 14 hours until I eat breakfast again, is this long period of time normal or should the meds be split equally over a 24 hour period ? Apologies if my question seems rudimentary, please don't thump me with the stupid stick. Daks [/QUOTE]
