“one daily dose of between 1,000 and 2,000 milligrams of metformin”
Medical Underwriter here. That’s a big dosage. A typical Type II dosage for Metformin is 500mg and with diet and exercise not cutting it, then 1000mg. But 2000mg? Wow. and $$$.
I take 1000mg of metformin twice a day. I also take glipizide and Victoza. My fasting sugars usually stay around 125 to 130 unless I am battling an infection like I am now.
