[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 1111005, member: 245335"] Whilst the effects of Metformin are accumulative I would like to question the statement "metformin does not have a very large impact on you blood glucose levels". Surely that is an opinion? Metformin decreases hepatic glucose production, decreases intestinal absorption of glucose, and improves insulin sensitivity by increasing peripheral glucose uptake and utilization, and therefore it's effects will be different from person to person. There also seems to be a lot of discussion about how effective it is if taken before or during a meal. [/QUOTE]
