[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2422207, member: 480869"] To clarify as has been said before. Taking them with food is recommended for gastric and digestive comfort and side effects. The medicinal effects do not work directly on the food eaten. They work in a background way, mostly by limiting glucose dumping by the liver. So eating fewer carbs in the long term may well lower levels enough that a person no longer needs the additional support of metformin. On the day to day level however the lack of carbs eaten and metformin are unrelated. [/QUOTE]
