Re: Do you take Metformin?
I take metformin. Had no problem getting a prescription from my onc. She even asked me what dose I wanted, maybe she was testing me to see if I had done my homework. But I asked for 500mg tabs. I think I read somewhere that was the clinical trial dose. I take 2 pills per day, so 1000 mg. I also bought a glucose meter. I test my blood in the am and sometimes at night. I'm usually around 86-90, fasting at 70. But I have cut out sugars and carbs. And like Agness I am following a ketogenic diet, so no refined carbs or sugars anyways. Carbs through veggies.
