Hey Michael? If you aren't already using the extended release version of met, ask your doc about switching to it. Fewer side effects than with regular met. It often takes a few weeks for our digestion to settle down & accept met graciously, as it were . . .A1C- 7.8

Taking metformin but I am having stomach pain with it even at 500 mg. Making a dr's appoinment tomorrow.
I have been on it since January. I was having Met-belly attacks every four/five days. Despite going with the flow that didn't change and after a few months I got the Dr to change me to the ER version.I have been taking it for 3 weeks.
I hope you will try to keep your bg below 140 at all times, that is when bad stuff can happen to your body and organs. When your post-meal bg is 140 or above, you have eaten too many carbs with that meal. It is a good idea to distribute your carbs evenly throughout the day, that way you won't be eating too many at one time.A1C- 7.8

That's what I am taking right now - 1000mgs at breakfast and 1000mgs at supper. It does help some, but I am also on insulin.Thanks for the info. I have taken Met during and after meals. Today, after meal it did not brother me as much. I might be getting used to it. Still taking 500 mg per day trying on building up to 2000 mg per day.
