What Is The Dosage Of Istamet And Metformin?
As per the direction of the doctor Take istamet and Metformin tablet with the meals . I used to have fasting sugar of about 130. As per experience taking medicine after 1hr, the fasting sugar remained 95-105.All parameters like type of food and timing were kept same for all results. This medicine takes long time to lower the sugar level. For this I have taken readings on 24hr basis, and about 5 readings per day at different time intervals. Thx. S.K.Tangnu
