My diabetic mother is not using her glucophage anymore-would it be worth my while to take 2 tabs(500mg/each) a day-once in the morning and once after workout with an ultrafuel and some creatine.-with she haid rezulin

Nope. A Therapeutical dose for Glucophage
is 1500mg+/daily. Anything less is a waste.
Upper limit is 2550mgs/day

Godspeed

I always thought she got the standard 850mg/tabs but when I looked today they are only 500's-so how about 3/day.

Just take one with each of your main meals.
Any carb is fine.

Godspeed

Does anyone know how long it takes to get into the blood? I'd like to know how soon should I take in my carbs after I take one.

Metaformin HCL has a very slow absorption rate-it will make it's way to circulation over a period of six hours. Take one in the mornign and one after workout with meals-I heard carb force by American Bodybuilding is a good product to use, as well as higher intakes of glutamine.
