Diabetes, Type 2
"I was started on Metformin ER 500 mg, 1 at bedtime. Increased 1 week later to 500 mg in a.m. &amp; p.m. My A1c was 6.7. Dr would not increase my dose so I did on my own. Having been type 2 diabetic for 18 years I was previously on Actos 10 years &amp; my A1c was always 5.4 or 5.5. I now take the Met ER 500 mg three times daily, 1 every 8 hours &amp; #&#039;s are great. I researched Met ER &amp; learned it loses most of it&#039;s punch 8-10 hours after a dose. I&#039;ve had NO problems at 3x day &amp; my #&#039;s are great!!"
