Im a 26 year old female diagnosed with PCOS.  My doctor prescribed me metformin 500mg 2x a day.  My pharmacy is closed until monday and i received it via mail but had a few questions.  My label say to "take with meals in morning and evening".  I normally dont eat in the morning (i just am in a rush but am willing to try to make a small change here) but am curious how much food is necessary.  From my answers on r/pcos it sounds like i need to eat some take the pill and then finish eating.  Is that normally true to avoid stomach problems?  I had asked my doctor about this butshe didnt really give any answers she more or less just said most people dont have problems.  But thats not really what im hearing.
