I am taking metformin for the first time.  I did take 2 tablets 500 mg and my blood sugar is much higher than it was this AM.  On the label it said to take 2 tabs by mouth every day. Nothing about taking 2Xs in a day. It did say with food. How long does it take to see any change. Is it a few hours after or is it days?
Hello, Get your Hba1C done before starting any OHA (Oral Hypoglycemic Agents). We should not rely on just fasting or post lunch value we need to see the past 3 months sugar levels from today to start any Chat Doctor. However, you can start with tablet Metformin once daily and homely monitor your sugar levels with the help of glucometer. Monitor your sugar levels every 8th hourly for 5 days and consults the general physician or planetologist or endocrinologist. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
