It's nice bright sunshine here atm, a tad chilly though. I haven't been there for a while but I love Howletts.

How long ago did you eat? If there's still food in your stomach, it should be Ok to take, I'd have thought.
On the other hand, Metformin is something that gradually builds up in the system, so missing a dose won't make much of a difference in the long run.

If you've not long eaten then take it now. If you last ate some hours ago then let it go. Don't double up at your next dose. Just continue as normal.
 
Sorry for the late post. Somewhere between 6.9 and 7.1🙂 Relying heavily on lots of extra basal, thank goodness for my pump.

I ate about 3 and a half hours ago so I would probably need something else to take a pill . I took a reading a little while ago and it was 7.1 so not too high , I think I will leave it . Thanks for your help .

The PIL (Patient Information Leaflet) that comes with the tablets should say what to do if you miss a dose 🙂

Of course , I didn't think of that . I will look now but will probably leave it today . I've checked and they advise to leave it , thanks for the tip .

I'd say that was the correct call. Rest easy 🙂
