[QUOTE="julie56, post: 1114710, member: 88494"] My initial hba1c was 111 - started on metformin straight away building up to 4 x 500 mg per day over period of one week. Diet and exercise do more to lower blood sugars than the pills. Takes a few weeks for metformin to build up in the system - it is a good safe drug that helps to lower glucose produced and released from the liver and also increases insulin sensitivity. Welcome to the forum by the way - you have come to the right place for all the help and advice you could wish for. It takes a while for it all to sink in, but it won't be long before you feel more in control and start feeling better. Good luck on your journey. [/QUOTE]
