Diabetes: Go back to the ER and have them admit her if this is new. If not option 2 is to find a good internal medicine doctor or endocrinologist tomorrow morning. She needs more than metformin unless I am missing some information. Being a weekend ,the best option is to go back to a different doctor .dont delay .
