[QUOTE="theonlysbf, post: 142166, member: 19662"] [b]Re: How long for metformin to kick in?[/b] All T2 suffers are different, things that work for some do not work or suit others. There a mirad of approaches from Carb control to avoiding refined sugar and food additives, etc, you can read about them all on this site, each has their own followers. I am not denigrating any of these approaches; they work for the individuals and their life. Metformin is a wonder drug, you should read up how it works, but at best it will only bring BG down 2 points, the rest sadly you need to do yourself. That means controlling what you eat, not just the obvious, but looking at absolutely everything that is in your diet. In addition to this, the single most effective thing you can do to lower your BG is exercise. What is absolutely essential is that you get control of your BG, BP and Cholesterol. As a T2 you’ll probably need a combination of drugs / diet / exercise, whatever combination you end up with it will give YOU and not the horrid diabetes control of your life. [/QUOTE]
