What Does This Blood Sugar Indicate Inspite Of Taking Metformin?
My husband was recently diagnosed with diabetes. He is on Metformin twice a day. This was called in to the pharmacy and he has not actually discussed this with his doctor. He was not feeling well, fatigued, and asked me to check his sugar level. The reading was 521. Is this serious enough to seek immediate medical attention?

Hello,
He should get immediate medical attention. He may need to use insulin instead of oral tables.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
