A member asked:
I take metformin but i really know if it helps me. how do i tell?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lowering glucose: Do you test your blood glucose? It should be lower than it was before you went on metformin (test fasting, first thing in am). The hemoglobin a1c test, which your doctor should be doing, should be lower since you started on metformin.
