Hi..thanks for using Healthcaremagic
Glycogen SR. contains metformin
Metformin can be given a maximum dose of 3gm/day..But usually we give upto 2-2.5gm /day
SR tablets are sustained release that means it can be given twice daily.Here no harm in taking three times a day,but if you take 1 in the morning and 2 at night also serve the purpose..Metformin doesn't have immediate effect on blood sugar values.
1gm preparations are available .Hence you can ask your doctor for that.
thank you...

Hello,

I don't know what kind of drug is glycogen and I've searched it in google without any results. Glycogen - if this is the right name of the drug - would be a highly unsuccessful name (a blunder really) for diabetes, any doctor could point that out! Any chance your drug is called "Glycomet"?
Anyway, I suppose your drug contains metformin 500mg and is an extended release preparation, right?
If this is the case (I'm sure this is it) then taking 1500mg per day is not too much. Actually you could go further and take even more of it (2000-2500mg per day) although I would not advice you to do so, because higher dosages have a diminishing added benefit while the potential side-effects become more and more likely.
The best regimen for type 2 diabetes includes daily physical activity (walking for 30 minutes every day - a little faster than usual) and diet measures. If you're overweight, you should try to loose weight by avoiding high fat food and avoiding carbohydrate containing food with a high glycemic index. Simple carbohydrates like sugar are the worst. Eating a lot of fiber helps for blood glucose.
If you do all the above and you still have high blood glucose then you'd better add a second tablet (a different drug) or start insulin. Your glucosylated hemoglobin A1c is a very important parameter for such decisions.
I hope I've shed some light on your problem.
If you have more questions, I'll be glad to help.

Kind Regards!
