I'd suggest getting a red permanent marker and putting a BIG RED M on the cap of the metformin. That may help. Big enough
you won't need glasses to see it.

Uh, not sure I can make it big enough not to need glasses.
But like that idea. I'm technically seem to be blind without my glasses from a distance. I'm near sighted, so I can't see things far away. And its honestly hard to see things like that. But I don't take meds without my glasses on. Donna

I have taken different colored sharpies and color coded some of my medicines that look alike. (I kept mixing up my Seroquel and my Baclofen...not a good thing to do.)
I just color the whole cap whatever color it should be for the medicine. Then on a piece of paper I write what the color is and what medicine is inside. Then when I refill them I just look at the paper and color the cap... no more problems. Maybe this will help for you..??  Abbie

Hi.
Before I take my meds, I line them up on a clean paper towel from lightest color to darkest. I leave them for a few minutes and return to check again that I am taking the right ones before I swallow them. Then I take them in order by color. It is the best system for me. (Every time I have bought a pill minder, I ignored it until I through it away or gave it to someone else.) M |
