What Causes An Elevation In The Blood Sugar Level Despite Taking Metformin?
My blood sugar has been consistently running about 300-369 for a couple of months with an A1c of 12.7 My doctor put me on 500 mg metformin a day and when I went back it was still 347. He increased the dose to 1000mg twice a day. the lowest I've gotten it it 276 fasting this am. I have been really forgetful and irritable. What else should I do, I have given up sweetened beverages and cut carbs a lot.

Good Evening,
I have considered your symptoms carefully,sometimes if metformin not helpful for your diabetic control,I think your GP should have to replace this medicine.
at present moment you need insulin therapy to control properly GLUCOSE level.
kindly ask your doctor for this
