| another caveat...metformin takes a little while to "build" in your system. Not taking a particular dose based on your current blood sugar wouldn't be that helpful, as you'd see the results of decreasing the dose in a few days, rather than in a few hours.
Metformin helps your body better use the insulin you're making, giving your beta cells a break, as T2s usually produce more insulin than we need (at least at first), but our bodies can't effectively use it.
