How Long Before I Notice A Difference?

Updated

I have just started Metformin XR. Right now I am on the what I have been told is the lowest dose, 500 mgs at night. My question is, how long will it before I notice change in my Blood Sugar levels?

It should start having some effect within a few days of starting it, but it may take a few weeks to reach its full level of efficacy.

Are you also watching your diet and getting plenty of exercise?

I am watching my diet and carb intake. Exercise, however, is minimal due to bad back. Also, I had major surgery three months and am just now able to move better without feeling stress and pulling on the inside of my abdomen. I had a 45 pound gastro intesteinal tumor removed. And, being diabetic, healing, of course, is slower.
