Hello ladies,
I have a question in regard to Metformin, im on the LE diet and currently taking Metformin for PCOS, my question is in regards to my sway would it be better I take the regular straight up metformin one after each meal or the metformin XR which is a slow release over 24hrs? Or do you think they would do the same thing? My doctor said the XR is more gentle on the stomach being a slower release so I wonder if the regular brings it down instantly after a meal? Also would love to know the dose anyone is taking? Im currently on 1500mg Met XR which I take in the evening.
Thanks

Shouldn't matter much...though maybe the regular would lead to more up and down of your sugar levels and sway a bit more? But not worth unpleasant side effects! The XR is generally much better tolerated.

That is something I just don't have the data to be able to answer, and so I defer to your doctor's judgement on that!

You can play aroudn with it a little bit but if you do best on 3 meals a day and snacks, then do that. Just pick more LE-type foods.
