Hi all,
I am currently taking 2 x 500mg metformin, one with breakfast and one with evening meal.
I got a call from my local chemist today asking how I am doing on the medication, I told them I had been sick twice and been suffering bad stomach ache and I am having higher BG readings, usually 1 hyper a day, I also feel very exhausted and struggle more than normal.
She said I may need slow release metformin, is there a difference between the two and can my high BG be down to my current metformin. My diet has also improved.
Thank you.
