What is the right time to take Glycomet 500 mg a generic version of Metformin? usually i take glycomet 500 SR, after meals, is it correct ## The U.S. FDA actually recommends that it be taken just before a meal, that way it has a chance to start working, by the time you are digesting your food and may experience the most blood sugar fluctuations.
