Can Glycomet 850 Sr Be Taken As A Precaution To Control Insulin Levels?
.hello, I have been given glycomet 850 sr twice a day after meals. Was prescribed as a precaution to getting insulin levels under control though am not a diabetic as all tests normal.have been gaining a lot of weight over two years. Just started the medicine and feel very sluggish and tired. Is it ok, or too high a dose?
Yes, this medication has been used in persons who are not overtly diabetic but who at at risk of becoming a diabetic. Normally the SR type of glyformin is used only once daily because it is a long acting medication that is released slowly in the body. You may need to consider speaking to your doctor about adjusting how it is taken

Can Glycomet 850 Sr Be Taken As A Precaution To Control Insulin Levels?
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic Yes, this medication has been used in persons who are not overtly diabetic but who at at risk of becoming a diabetic. Normally the SR type of glyformin is used only once daily because it is a long acting medication that is released slowly in the body. You may need to consider speaking to your doctor about adjusting how it is taken This medication is good because it reduces insulin resistance. It would not causes a weight increase but would either help prevent further weight gain or help you to lose weight. I hope this helps
