Do you know what your bg's were two hours after eating? I would expect bg's to be normal 6 hours after eating. hugs Eunice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Hi all, I take 4 x 500mg Metformin four times a day - my doctor says not more than 750mg at a time. It also takes 3-4 weeks for your body to settle down when you start taking it, and make sure you take it with food, Re: forgot to take my metformin i don't know? but i do know one thing since i began meds three weeks ago i've experienced low blood sugar four times and the last time i about went into shock......i was diagnosed with type 2 about three weeks ago............
