I'm a type 1 pumper taking 500-mg twice a day. Five years ago when I started on Metformin, I had some stomach problems but they subsided after a month or so.

Although many say to take it with food, I honestly find it is less harsh if taken on an empty stomach. I take my morning dose at 7:20 before leaving for work and eat breakfast at my desk by 8:15. I take my evening dose about 10-15 minutes before dinner.
