    metformin forgot to take
    hi, I am on metformin. For the first time in the year I've been on it, I came to work today without it! Ate my breakfast at my desk and have a low carb lunch w/ me for later. I won't be able to take the meds until my dinner time or about 5pm when I get home.

    hopefully I won't have any weird reactions but just checking, this means two meals in a row w/out the meds (I take it 3x daily w/ food)...

    what do you suggest?

    I will from now on leave a card of tablets at work! I changed handbags and that did me in!

    Thanks.

    I take metformin, have missed with no ill effects. You have no choice but to wait. In fact, missed two days of metformin last weekend and I am a very compliant diabetic and didn't worry. Of course I don't know what other meds you are on.

    Most important not to double up though. Just take your normal tablet at supper time.

    Hi thanks, won't double up then. I'm only on metformin and diet/exercise.

    So far feel OK! Thanks!
