A member asked:
I took 2 1000mg metformin pills and i ate a soup and my glucose is 357 what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It means that: Your diabetes is not under control with present meds. Go see your doctor so he can change your medicine or add another. Also, the usual dose of metformin is 1000mg twice a day, so you might be taking too much.
