[QUOTE="Marie 2, post: 2085405, member: 475037"] Metformin can work pretty quickly, it blocks the liver from producing some excess glucose. But I gather some people respond better than others to it. It can be a major difference for some people. There is a test to know who will respond to it, but that is cost prohibitive because the medication is just so cheap to just go ahead and try it. They can up your dose, but usually do so gradually so you get used to it. If you want it raised sooner because it is not working, I would go ahead and call them. Just something to keep in mind. A lot of us Type 1's have been misdiagnosed as type 2's at first. Sometimes if things don't make sense, you might be a type1 instead of a type 2. So if you are doing everything right and your sugars still don't come down you might ask to be tested for being a type 1. [/QUOTE]
