Hi all-just to update:
I finally have been prescribed Metformin!!-saw the endo again and he was annoyed that the GP had overruled his recommendations from 5 months ago that GP start me on Metformin to hopefully delay my IGT developing into full blown diabetes.
The endo has decided to deft the GP out and given me the Metformin and said I will just need to ring his secretary when I need repeat prescription!
Just a question-I have to take one tablet a day for the first week-in the leaflet it states Metformin should be taken in the evening but I thought the endo's registrar told me to take it in the morning??
From week 2 I will have to take 1 tablet twice a day so it would make sense to me to start this first week taking it in the morning-any advise greatly appreciated.
PS-Thankfully he has prescribed the slow release Metformin!-I was dreading 'windy city' side effect lol!!!
