Metformin change to prolonged release

As I said been on metformin for 15/20 years but reduced to 2 a day about 2 years ago and was also put on 1mg ozempic. Problem with my surgery is you very rarely see the same doctor twice even though my notes are updated. I am hoping the new practice nurse can give me better advice as she specialises in diabetes and she does not clockwatch during the appointment.
Practice nurse is diabetes lead in my surgery

She's a lovely person and listens and gives me plenty of time

I prefer to see her for my condition rather than the GPs who are like gold dust these days but that's the way it is

She's a nurse practitioner so can alter meds too
