[QUOTE="Glink, post: 1753484, member: 254742"] I'm on 500 mg 2x / day of metformin. If these symptoms and higher readings keep up I'll ask about increasing it at my next appt in June. I hate to deal with the GI effects of changing dose, but once through the transition, it does seem to help with the rises (or at least has in the past, both when I started @ 250 bid and then I upped to 500). My GP has previously offered to put me on a second med, but the other ones he's offered all carry the risk of hypos, and I'd rather not deal with that if at all possible. Because I'm at risk of actually being LADA/1.5, I get nervous when things suddenly seem worse. I have to remind myself that sometimes it's a new turn in the road, but other times it's just very early signs that I'm actually just getting a temporary virus or something (sugars always seem to go out of whack before I can even feel that I'm sick in other ways--in fact this whole diabetic path seemed to be triggered by a bout of mononucleosis a few years back!).
