My blood sugar was 120 every morning, then I started metformin 500mg with a meal this is day 3. Every day I took metformin my blood sugar was 152, I thought it was supposed to decrease my BS, not increase it. So in other words my sugar is higher now than ever before!?
Metformin - metfomin increased my morning blood sugar?

Whoa, if you're just starting it, you're not at the dose you need yet. Let the dr know what's happening so he can increase your dose.

The same thing has been happening to me for five and a half years I have been on Metformin. I have excellent a1c results all the time.I never ran over 150 ever, now I run in the 200 and 300 range, constant stomach pain and cannot hardly eat because everything gives me gas and indigestian. I can hardly move around because my body feels paralyzed.The doctor always says this is normal and the benefits outway the side effects but when I don't take it I feel wonderful.I want to stop on my own before it kills me.
