[QUOTE="cocacola, post: 125005, member: 22801"] I was first put on Metformin at 6.0, I wasn't given any warnings about taking one tablet first week and then build up. I was put straight onto 3 tabs a day, despite GP knowing I suffered from IBS. I can't say that I noticed any changes on my BG levels. My weight didn't really alter, only by a few pounds up or down. My BP was good. But my actual BG went up instead of down. I am now having more success with a combination of metformin (3x500mg) and sitagliptin. My morning fasting levels have dropped from 7.8 to 5.7 in two weeks :mrgreen: If you don't feel comfortable taking the tablets, don't take them. Are you taking any other medication that may be altering/affecting your BG. [/QUOTE]
