I am now trying 500 mg three times a day:  with breakfast, with lunch and with dinner.  This seems to have helped the first couple days, but I do not have much experience with this dosage.  Does anyone have experience with using Metformin three times a day?<\/p>\n<p>How about, my MD has suggested starting Januvia.
