[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1101234, member: 196898"] Hi, Cazza, your signature shows 2x500 Metformin, but you dosed 3x in the log. Also you seem to be taking the Metformin late. It is best to take it with the meal. For me I found it better if I take it about 30mins before I eat because it works by stopping glucose digestion in the gut, so needs to be dissolved and waiting for the food.. You can see the Victoza taking effect, but don't expect the Metformin to do much. It has a limited effect on bgl. It may be that a change in medication would help since the Victoza seems to have short half life, and maybe you need more 24 hr cover. I was put on 4x Gliclazide in the morning, and it was useless. I split it 3 ways to cover the meals I usually have, and things improved all round. I had a similar issue when Dr made me take all 4 Metformins at once. Again, I split it through the day. By changing my timings and doses of my meds I dropped my HbA1c from 99 to 53 in 3 months. [/QUOTE]
