Hi thanks for the welcome!
I take the metformin after a couple bites of food at each meal. It's important to have a bit of food in your stomach to cut down on the side effects (nausea and diarrhea). Metformin also gives you a bit of a full feeling so it makes me eat less too. It's suggested to take it immediately following your last bite of food but I try to eat it during as I said above. Hope that helps! -Brenda
