Hi, Diagnosed with T2 in Dec '09, have been diet and exercise controlled until recently. Last Hb1AC result this week came back at 15.7! (3 months ago was 7.1) Thought I was doing really well as my own monitor showed 6.4 for a 30 day period!
However have now been told I have to take Metformin Mod Release 500mg - have a problem with this as I can't swallow tablets - even have to break a paracetamol in half and these are twice the size of a paracetamol. Is there an alternative i.e. granules or liquid? Any advice welcome, has anyone else ever had this problem - feel so pathetic, but have always had a problem swallowing tablets etc.
Thanks.
