How much Metformin?From: TJ (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sun, 6 Jan 2002 15:49:52 -0600 (CST)
Hi guys, I don't really know if I'm suffering "tangible" symptoms of IR. I have started Metformin (500 mg) and my doc told me to take them for a week or two at 500 then increase to 1000. My question is, how do I know when my dosage is high enough? I really don't want to go through another IGTT - the first one really (pardon the French) SUCKED. She is sending me for a HBA1C or whatever the letters are (the hemoglobin one that checks how well your blood glucose has been controlled) in mid-late February; will that provide enough information as to whether or not I should increase? By next week I will be increasing to 1000 mg - should I just leave it at that until I get the bloodwork done and increase it only based on what the test shows? Last time my results were 4.9% (before meds). I know this is a normal result so I am curious to see if it will change at all this time, and that is also why I'm figuring I might not need my dosage to be that high. Or maybe I will just know if it's too high because I'll feel like crap? Any thoughts? Thanks, hope everyone is doing well.
