I have been taking metformin 1000 2X day for about 2 months and have achieved acceptable control. However I have been taking the metformin mid-meal and have lately been experiencing GI distress. I read an article today and it stated that metformin should be taken 15 minutes prior to a meal and no more than 30 minutes prior to a meal. Any comments or experiences to relate as to the timing of the metformin dose?
