How Can Glumetza Be Used Safely?

Hello, I m a type II diabetic and I take a protein blend that lasts for 8 hours 3 times a day (sugar free of course), one in the morning, after an excercise (weightlifting to be specific) and right near bedtime. I also use half a scoop of creatine an hour before my workout and mix another half of creatine in my protein shake immediately after my workout. Now my question is, sometimes I need to use my glumetza to alleviate some of my symptoms that build up overtime and I also want to know if there is a way I can use Glumetza in the safest time possible? And do any of these interact with each other? Apart from a few hours or not? Thanks for your cooperation!

your first line suggest you are diabetic, you use glumetza(metformin) SOMETIMES which is not correct. you should use it REGULARLY and not sometimes. Glumetza reduces insulin resistance. It is a wonderful drug . it is to be taken 30 minutes before meal.. however you can take it just before or even after a meal. there is No such interaction. please eat as per your BMI.
