How much?

Question

So the doctor has me taking 500mg of metformin in the morning before breakfast.. now I’m finding that after my meals, instead of being in the 100-140 range I’m hitting low like after lunch today I was at an 82! Granted I didn’t eat much, but enough that I should have gotten a higher number than that! Does that seem like a lot of metformin? Obviously I have no idea what a “normal” amount is but 500mg seems like a whole lot

Answer

Does anyone else have a really bad reaction to metformin? Llts of nausea and puking :/ i took this medicine once before in life for a different problem and now im afraid i will react the same way again if my doctor makes me go back on it for gestational diabetes.... :(

Answer

I was on 1000mg a day. I ended up still having to be controlled with insulin. Sounds like you may be just fine on only metformin! My dr wasn’t worried until I was in the 70’s three times in one week. I would just clarify with your Diab team what your limits should be and when you should call in
