Metformin can certainly upset one's tummy if taken without found. Luckily I am one of those who it doesn't bother. I would suggest just a soda cracker or two when it's taken. I'm not a breakfast eater, but still have to take my Metformin.

My husband numbers are better now, praise God. 122.
I've noticed that low fat milk has 12 grams of sugar and most creamers have high fructose corn starch which is a lot of sugar. I now buy my husband unsweetened almond milk and natural bliss by coffee mate creamer of 5 grams of sugar per 1 teaspoon. Just sharing!! 😁

I think you have to figure out WHY your husband isn't taking his medication and go from there. Is it because he has trouble swallowing pills? Is it because he needs to eat something when he takes them and doesn't want to eat? Is it because he just doesn't want to take any medications at all? Is it because he feels nauseated with it? If you can figure out why he won't take the Metformin you can address the issue. Good luck!

You know the saying , you can take the horse to the water but you can,t make it drink. In so saying , your husband must take responsibility for his situation and condition . You seem like a very caring partener ,he is very fortunate person to have that kind of situation but you have your own health to take care off so you have to comramise , encourage each other , it takes cooperation and a must want to do it . Hope this makes some sense to you both .Good luck to both of you .
