Red face Is Glucophage XR different from Glucophage(with no XR)

Hi

Really dumb of me I know, but trying to find out as much as I can about glucophage before I go to the Dr's.

I are not IR, so need to have a good arguement for going on it.
Is it dangerous to take glucophage when you are not IR?
Why would you take it if you are not IR?

If it is different, what is the difference?

Any info would be great.

Thanks

Tracy
