They say it can take up to 5 weeks to fully begin working - it will depend on your dose too, however. I started at 500mg twice a day and now take 1,000mg twice a day. Also, are you sure you're a type 2? I believe I'm a type 1.5 - and require insulin to really do the trick. What are your daily averages for fasting and 2 hours pp?
