See your doctor: For re-evaluation//adjustment of your therapy.Generally metformin is adjusted based on fasting sugars (ada goal <130mg/dl).Clinical response seen at doses >1, 500mg daily, adjusted based on efficacy/ tolerance (max 2, 250mg/day).Also increase physical active(~30mins most days of the week)/ fiber/water intake, reduce portion size at mealtime, add fruits/veggies to meal, for better diabetes control.
