Update and Advice

First of all I would like to thank all of you for your kind responses to my original post of "Please Respond".

I did call my doctor today and told her that I was concerned that I could not get my BS any lower than about 140 and sometimes as high as 220 on average and that my A1C of 7.4 had me concerned. I told her that I would like to get this under control now and would like to be placed on medication until I get my diet and exercise right to get it under control. So she placed me on Metformin 500 mg once daily.

My question is that other than the possibility of stomach difficulties, have you all that are on this medication had any serious side effects?

The prescription says once daily. When is the best time to take this medication?
