I am now taking 1,700 MG's Metformin Daily (850 AM and 850 PM).I've still had a couple readings in the 200s,but also a 175 and 176.Have only been taking the higher dose 6 Day's Today..it is grrreat to see these numbers after Month's of high 200s and even 300s!

great news butter. How are you doing with the side effects from the metformin? Have you tried taking a folate or b complex to ward off the leg pain? HOpe it works well for you!

Well,other than running to Bathroom every 10-15 minutes,there is no Leg pain (yet),but I only been taking 6 Day's.Usually it takes 2 bottles before the Leg pain sets in.I take double doses Folic Acid and B Complex QD as well as Elemental Calcium BID.
