[QUOTE="kerryh66, post: 271055, member: 42791"] Hello all I had my first meeting with my DN yesterday, and was expecting to come away with a diet sheet and a magazine, however this was not the case and I came away instead with a script for metformin 500mg, one a day for the first week and then to two a day. I havent dared to take one yet mainly because of the related tummy problems (I am already wheat intolerant and suffer from IBS after stress) !! My questions are 1..Is what I read about tummy upsets pretty standard - do most ppl have a bad tummy from it. 2..Can metformin be taken with the evening meal, instead of with breakfast...my main reason for asking this is that I work in a very small office and the thought of raging trots whilst at work is just beyond the pale... 3..The Dn told me that if my tummy didnt settle down within a couple of weeks she could script me something else that was gentler on the innards...is this slow release metformin or is it one of the other types of meds. Thank you for reading... [/QUOTE]
