Question
My my mother had three glucose levels around 134mg/dL [7.4 mmol/L], and her
doctor advised her to take 850 mg of metformin
three times a day. Is this dose enough or is it too high?
Answers
This is a pretty standard dose. Whether it's correct for any one individual
will depend on factors including the severity of the diabetes along with
your mother's exercise level and diet. If this regimen isn't effective,
your mother may need more of this medication, and/or additional diabetes medications.
