| I would concur with taking it with food, by that I would advise eat first and then take it, don't reverse that.
Some people can get an upset stomach, but your dose is fairly low. There is also the possibility of a metformin moment, I have only had 2-3 since last Nov and normally associated with:
- Taking before food
- Eating greasy food
basically starts with a lot of wind and ends with the Big "D". Don't fret about it though.
As has been mentioned, don't expect to get instant results, for me it took 2-3 weeks for it to kick in, so don't worry if your BG aren't down by tomorrow.
Test, watch the carbs and exercise, you will get there.
