Metformin: what to expect

Metformin is usually the first medicine offered for type 2 diabetes. Most people start on 1,000 mg twice a day1 with meals.

Stomach upset is common in the first weeks. It should not be taken if you have any kidney problems2.

Your HbA1c should be checked every 3–6 months3 until it is stable.

Every reviewer has a profile like thisView profile →
Four checks before a clinician can review
01RegistrationChecked against the national register: GMC, NMC, GPhC, or the equivalent in their country.
02SpecialtyConfirmed from the register or their employer, so they only review what they practise.
03IdentityMatched to a real person before their name can appear on any page.
04ConflictsDeclared interests shown on their profile; pharma or product ties rule them out of related pages.
Checked against guidanceEvery clinical statement compared with the current guideline, NICE, WHO or the relevant specialty society, and the guideline is named with each change.
You stay in controlYou see each suggested change with its reason and source, and accept or decline it. Nothing on your page changes automatically.

Questions about medical review

The short answer first, then the detail.
Scope
Which guidelines do you use?The ones that apply where your readers are

For UK readers that usually means NICE and the BNF; for the US, specialty societies and FDA labelling; internationally, WHO. The reviewer names the exact guideline and version for every change, so you can check it yourself.

What if guidance differs between countries?We say so, and you choose

If your readers are in several countries, the reviewer points out where guidance differs and suggests wording that is safe everywhere, or separate wording per country.

The reviewer
How do you verify clinicians?Against the official register

We check the national medical, nursing or pharmacy register (for example the GMC in the UK), plus their specialty. The profile shows the register and the date it was checked.

Can the reviewer stay anonymous?No

A named reviewer is the point: readers need to see who checked the page. The reviewer agrees to be named before they accept the work.

After the review
How often should pages be re-reviewed?When the guideline changes, or at least yearly

We track the guidelines your pages were checked against and remind you when one is updated. Pages older than 12 months are marked as due for review.

What does it cost?A fixed quote per page, before any work

Medical pages are scoped individually because length and complexity vary a lot. You get the price for each page within one working day.
