If non diabetic but with pre diabetes or insulin resistance, i recommend metformin.
Yes. Coffee has no effect on Metformin. (I'm diabetic, and have been on it for some time.)
The best time to take your diabetic pill depends on the tpye of medicine you take. The medicine metformin you take two times daily.
I m pregnant,having UTI.and on baseline tests DM/GDM diagnosed accidentally.can I take metformin alongwith amoxil
Lantus is a insulin injection & is used to lower blood sugar levels. Metformin is tablet medication which is also used to lower blood sugar levels. Taking Lantus & Metformin in conjunction should be done hesitantly & with your Diabetic Doctors approval as these two medications together may cause too low blood sugar (Hypoglycemia). Those who take Metformin & Insulin, usually separate those two meds by about 5 or 6 hours. I take Metformin & Byetta with morning and evening meals and Insulin at bedtime. I am Type 2.
No, you should not take Advil if you are a diabetic. I believe up to 6 Tylenol a day is permitted.
Yes, there is no problem in taking those 2 drugs together, at the same moment or during the same day.
Some diabetes medications, such as metformin, are used in people without diabetes to treat other conditions, such as metabolic syndrome or polycystic ovarian syndrome.
No. Metformin is used by type II diabetics for their blood sugar. I am not aware of any analgesic effect from metformin.
This is a new idea in some areas so it is best to talk to your doctor as to what they recommend. Basicaly.. there is a small chance that the metformin (and other diabetic medications) could crystalize in the kidneys causing damage. The policy where I work recommends not taking the medication for 48 hours after you get the dye injection. We dont have a hold for the medication before getting the dye. If you are diabetic, ask your doctor if the medication you take has any restrictions when getting any kind of dye for a test. You may also ask the technologist doing your test, before the injection, what their policy is.
Yes
