If you take it on a full stomach (mixed in with food) then it passes to the intestines without irritating the stomach
Just make it a habit so you don't forget as in just before supper everyday
When, during the day you take it makes no difference. A dose of metformin stays working in your system for 48 hours so you always have at least a couple doses floating around in there, but the same time everyday (whenever that is) is best management practice
@A DiabetesTeam Member hello I was taking Metformin for my late onset Type 2 diabetes for some years but I have been a been able to get off medication for Diabetes by eating healthy foods and not eating ice cream, cake or fattening foods like chips and dips and by walking exercise I am now in remission

Metformin helps manage diabetes by
• Reducing sugar production in the liver
• Improving insulin effectiveness
• Slowing sugar absorption from food
• Helping stabilize blood sugar levels, especially after meals
For some people, metformin may also support weight loss efforts, which can help with blood sugar control Show Full Answer
With meals. Usually 1x to 2x a day.
Should always be at the same times of day.
After meals is what Pharmacist told me.
