i am taking (6)tablets of 425 mg. metformin per day--starting 5pm every hour with small amount of food, after 3 hours,I started having loose bowel movement, the reason I take it at 5pm--this way i will not be humiliated at work n interrupted. what should i do, i am only 135lbs, 5 7 height? what is the remedy? Also, I tell my friends when they invite me drinking, i need notice before 5 pm, this way i will not take the metformin that evening. am i doing it right? i am unemployed, i cant afford $10 consultation. bye.
