Weight and Metformin
I started out taking 2000 mg of metformin a day when my glucose was in the 200 to 300 range, but then I went on an exercise regimen, started watching what I ate, and ended up dropping about 24 lbs. I went back to my physician and he reduced my dose from 2000 to 1000 a day. I now take only one 1000 mg pill a day with my dinner and that's it. My measurements are in the range of 80 - 100, sometimes they go a bit above 100, but typically they are 80 to 90 range. I do try to eat more grains and fiber, but I don't necessarily watch my carbs that much anymore.
I'd suggest you talk to your doctor and see if you can get on a lower dose, especially with your weight loss. Good luck!
