[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1910438, member: 94045"] Metformin helps mostly with the early morning fasting levels because that is when your liver kicks in to increase blood glucose levels. Some people have real problems with morning fasting levels that take an age to come down, but if you don't have a meter to test yourself, you can't possibly know if this is a problem for you. The liver also kicks in at other times of the day. It isn't restricted to mornings. I can say, in all honesty, that I personally have never had problems with my morning fasting levels, so it is unlikely Metformin would have benefited me.. But that is me, and I know this because I self test and also have periods where I wear a Libre sensor monitor. The decision to take the tablets is entirely yours - not your nurse's and not ours. Clearly something is going wrong. If it isn't your food choices then other reasons need to be investigated. We can help you better if you list a typical days food and drink, or list all the foods you normally eat. [/QUOTE]
