@Alana I think because my main problem is the mornings that's why they wanted me to start with the morning first maybe? I don't know. I've been on them before but that was many years ago
Yes that’s how mine had to start a few weeks ago !!! Good luck 🤞 x
That’s exactly how mine started! I’m on 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening
Perfect I just thought I would check with people who are saner than I am right now lol
@Holley mines only morning fasting 🤔
@Alana suppose it depends on how mad the levels started going. I spiked off a bloody salad the other day it's been mad. But I will say first dose this morning and it's the first morning in over a week that my breakfast didn't spike
I dunno. Maybe different trusts do it differently. My fasting was like 6.7 ish daily. Now it's 4.9 with 2 evenihg metformin and evening insulin 4 units. X
@Alana yeah my fasting levels with the occasional spike was about about 4.4-5.2 it was breakfast and lunch that was becoming a problem for me
I’ve been on metformin for 3 years - make sure you take it with meals or the reflux is terrible!
@Daisy yeah I saw that in the instructions. I was given it for a year about 4 years ago to try to help with my PCOS symptoms but it didn't really work. Never taken it for blood sugar reasons
Wow that's complicated. Mine was . Take one in the evening. If no improvement after 3 days , add another. If no improvement after 3 days, add 1 in the morning , and another in 3 days if still no improvement. I couldn't tolerate the morning ones, though, so I now have 2 on an evening and 4 units of insulin
