Granted, Ive only been back on my meds for a few days...am I getting paranoid for no reason? Does it take the Metformin a while to level me out? I feel fine and am not shaky or anything but the BG is hovering between 200-280 no matter when I test. This morning I tested before i ate and it was 236...I tested just now, an hour after i ate and it was 287. I want to see me get into the low 100's. IS this something that is just going to take time, or what?
In my case it took three weeks on Metformin before my sugar started to come down and then it took about four months to see a really useful effect.

When I first came on this forum worrying that my medication was not working I was advised to be patient because it takes a while for things to work.
