Metformin

A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭
Maidenhead, UK

I am prescribed Alogliptin 12.5 mg/Metformin 1000 mg tablets two a day. I take one at breakfast and one with my evening meal. Earlier i used to take late dinners with max one hour before going to bed. But currently i am experiencing dawn phenomenon. So my questions are:
1) is it enough strong of about 2 gms of metformin a day?
2) is it a good idea to take this tablet with a very little bedtime snack?

Frequent Nighttime Urination. More Than 1x A Night.

A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭
Pitman, NJ

There are many possible reasons for frequent urination, including
‐-----------------------------
For me the cause are the necessary treatments for prostate cancer. The prostate was 10 times normal size and the cancer metastasized into other tissues.

The nerves to control #1 and #2, as well as much of my pelvic floor were sacrificed to remove the cancer.

It keeps metastisizing - so 7 years later I am currently in my 9th treatment
