What should you do if take Metformin and have a blood sugar level of 205?
Call your doctor immediately.
Metformin is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. It is used to lower blood sugar by causing the body to produce less glucose (sugar) and by helping the body use glucose more efficiently.
A blood sugar level of 205 is considered high and could indicate that your Metformin is not working properly or that your dose needs to be adjusted.
Your doctor may recommend that you:
* Increase your Metformin dose.
* Add another diabetes medication to your treatment plan.
* Make changes to your diet and lifestyle, such as eating a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, and losing weight.
You should not stop taking Metformin without talking to your doctor, as this could cause your blood sugar levels to rise even higher.
If you have symptoms of very high blood sugar, such as:
* Extreme thirst
* Frequent urination
* Blurred vision
* Drowsiness
* Confusion
* Nausea
* Vomiting
* Abdominal pain
You should seek emergency medical care.
