Hi,
Since a month I am using metformin 850mg

I am a Man 1.83 length 102 kg.
Now my values are in the morning about 135mg and the rest about 120mg.
Question is this OK with metformin 850gr or is it better using tablets of 500mg??

What is in the morning the max level in mg and during the day level or before eating and after eating after 2-3hours?

Thanks for all your advices.

John

Hi,

This is something that you would need to discuss with the your prescribing doctor, since they will make their decision based on multiple factors as well as height and weight.

If you have a look online you will find that there is a recommended maximum dose for the use of Metformin, but that does not mean that maximum dose is appropriate for you - that is up to your doc to decide.

Hope that helps.
