Hello @wilson1973 and welcome to the forum 
There shouldn't be any issues with taking this with metformin as it's not a medicine, it's a dietary supplement.

I like psyllium husk in porridge. It makes a kind of jelly with water which some do not like. I would recommend eating the psyllium husk earlier in the meal with the metformin at the end, or preferably take the metformin with a different meal.
