I am fairly new to all this as diagnosed in early September following Hb1ac result (64). Initially I was put on 500mg increasing to 1500mg within a few weeks. I could not tolerate it so have been given 1000mg slow release. This seems fine, but is this enough?
I test (not as regularly or in as controlled a way as I should and it does not vary much) and my levels are usually about 7 - 8 2 hours after eating. Rarely goes over 9.7 an hour after food. Never below 5.8 at any time.
I am being more careful about carbs, but not following a very low carb diet. I stick to less than 100g a day including drinks etc.
So should I be concerned that the metformin is a lower dose than originally planned?
Thanks.....I am new to this!
