[QUOTE="Energize, post: 1227543, member: 28960"] My understanding regarding taking Metformin is that the advice re taking with/after meals is because of the possiblilty of gastric issues with it. Some people find Metformin causes many gastric issues which can be improved on slow Release. Personally, I have no problems with Metformin. I did get changed to Slow Release when my dose was increased to 4 a day but this has been changed back to 'ordinary' Metformin due to the surgery's decision re trimming costs. As I have said, I don't have a problem with Metformin but many people seem to have issues. I often take my Metformin as I go to bed as I forget to take my evening tablets before ;) I'll have to see if it brings down my morning BG when taken late at night :) [/QUOTE]
