Message: <blockquote data-quote="K_Uma" data-source="post: 2304385" data-attributes="member: 529940">Hi all,I am new to the group. I have been taking metformin ( one a day) from 2014 and my hb1ac was under control for 4 years. In 2018 I started taking two metformin tablets but my hb1ac kept on increasing. My reading in July was 7.1. My diabetic nurse increased my dose to four tablets but I said I will increase it slowly and started taking three tablets. I bought a glucometer and started testing at home. I was upset to see my fasting reading as 8.3, 8.5 . After meal (2.5 hrs ) reading was 7.4, 7.5. I was worried about my fasting reading and called the nurse. She suggested to increase my metformin to 4 tablets which I started from yesterday. I have an upset tummy because of this. I haven’t taken any reading after that as I am waiting for my glucose strips. Does anyone taking metformin have the same problem? Does anyone have a high fasting reading in spite of taking metformin? Please share your views</blockquote>
