What Causes Elevated Blood Sugar Levels Despite Taking Metformin?
Im a type 2 diabetic. I take metformin . 2 tablets in morning and two in the evening. since this morning I have not been feeling well. Had a light lunch at noon time took a nap. woke up at 5pm pacific time. feeling the same. tested my blood sugar and it read 131. Herman
Good day. Noted. I must say that a random blood sugar of 131 is still in normal range ( even if it is high compared to your usual sugar levels). Not to worry. Meanwhile, if you still feel unwell, visit a doctor please. Flu and such illness can push the sugar levels up.
