Dr Sam - How is correct dosage of Metformin determined --- 500, 1000, 1500?From: Anna (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sun, 27 Apr 2003 17:21:20 -0500 (CDT)
Hi Dr Sam, My doctor put me on metformin (500mg, 3 times per day). I have severe insulin resistance but not diagnosed with diabetes. How is it determined what would be the correct dosage? Should I be regularly checking my blood sugar and if its low then ask to lower the dosage? My mother who is a diabetic takes 500mg glucophage, twice a day. So why am I taking 3 times a day? Another thing I am confused about is some people say it reduces appetite and some say it increases. I have found that on a lower dosage my appetite is reduced and when I take 500mg, 3 times a day I can get hungry. Does Metformin work all through the day? Thanks, Anna.
