[QUOTE="Melbel, post: 1353361, member: 369873"] hello everyone. I was diagnosed type 2 diabetes at the beginning of December following the two hour fasting test. I suspect I have also PCOS due to symptoms I have (the GP agreed) and have been put on Metformin 500mg x 1 per day. I've no idea what my readings were or are, I don't think it was anything severe as the GP mentioned maybe coming off Metfotmin one day but I really do have to work on losing weight and better diet, I've noticed most people on metformin are instructed to up their dosage every so often until they're on 3 or 4 tablets a day. I have only ever been told to take one (with breakfast) at my initial appointment when I was diagnosed and that's been it. Is it heard of to only need 1x metformin per day long term or should i have had my Doseage upped? I did have an appointment booked with the diabetic nurse before Xmas but it was cancelled as she unexpected left the practice. I was just wondering if it's the norm to be on just one metformin for this long ? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
