I just had a discussion with my sister about this. I took Glucophage 500 mg. t.i.d. for 18 months and in June went to Glucophage XR, 1000 mg. q.d. I don't feel as good as I did when I took the regular Glucophage. The doctor's staff said the lower dose of XR was because it is time release and the levels are more constant, but still I feel my sugar floating up and down during the day. Any suggestions? I may have to ask to be changed back to the other RX, but hate to waste the rest of the 3-month supply I have now.
