I've followed the directions carefully but don't get any blood. Which is odd because I bleed very easily from my fingers. I'll stick with sticking my fingers[sorry about that]. Sharron >> I've had the same problem, Sharron, just haven't been able to get blood from my arm. I've wondered in my case if it has to do with being so fat. Oh well, I'm still waiting for Star Trek-like medicine, where all they have to do is wave a little tricorder at you and get total information about everything instantly!

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2001 Report Share Posted May 12, 2001 I should say that I am not saying I am right- this was just what I was thinking and why I stopped taking it.- <<The glucophage web site says anything under 1500 mg a day is not proven effective so I figured my 1000 mg a day wasn't doing anything anyway.
