Last Friday I started the Metformin - and the dr said first try at dinner 500 mg - then when I tolerate that up it to one in morning, one in evening with a meal....that first night I took it while having supper at Carrabbas - (more fat and bad carbs than I should have had)...that morning at 5 am I began to feel the affects - wow!!!! I lived through that experience (living in the bathroom, that is) and today I am on my first day of 1000 mg and NO PROBLEMS!!!! I am on the Sugar Busters diet plan - so only high fiber carb foods - and I have not had any problems other than some acid indigestion which might be from something else - phewwwwwww - what a relief because I wanted this medicine so badly!!!!!!!!! So the only thing that must be working for me is having healthy meals with the pills.... Like a 1/2 of whole wheat english muffin with a smear of sugar free peanut butter with morning pill and dinner with whole wheat pita bread sandwich (turkey, tomato and lettuce)....
