[QUOTE="searley, post: 2421707, member: 31377"] It won’t.. they want you to take it whatever. And it’s only recent years that doctors etc have ‘started’ accepting low carb works There is a coating / binding agent that upsets the stomach for some which is why it’s taken with food.. but as stated above it’s a long term medication that builds up in the system Some people struggling with stomach issues goto the modified release version as this has a different coating binding agent. If you skip a meal you could delay metformin until later in the day with you next meal…. Or you could take anyway as it may not affect you. Or you could skip it as 1 missed dies should make much difference in long run.. or just have it with a small snack [/QUOTE]
