Will taking more Metformax lower my sugar?

There is no single, correct answer to this question, because we do not know what dose of metformin you are writing about and about the other drugs that you use, do we not know the reasons for introducing Metformax therapy into your therapy. Perhaps this is a small dose and increasing it in your case would be advisable, and perhaps not. A precise answer should be given by your attending physician. However, please note that medicines containing metformin do not directly act to lower blood glucose levels (such as insulin). Metformin has several mechanisms of action: (1) it reduces the production of glucose in the liver by inhibiting gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis, (2) in the muscles increases insulin sensitivity by enhancing peripheral glucose uptake and its consumption, (3) it delays the absorption of glucose in the intestine. Increasing the dose can increase the sensitivity of tissues to insulin and contribute to better results. However, please remember that increasing the dose may also not change anything if you have not changed your current eating habits and regular physical activity - which is the basis of treatment. In case of side effects of the drug such as diarrhea, abdominal pain - please remember about proper hydration.

In the case of long-term use of metformin, it is worth considering vitamin B12 supplementation if it turns out that there is a deficiency or factors that increase the risk of its deficiency even more.
