Suggest Medication For Diabetes

I have type 2 diabetes. My doctor said my blood tests from the lab shows that my ac is 10 and it should be 6. She prescribed me Metformin 1000mg. I have to take it twice a day. I previously was taking Metformin 500mg. She said it wasn t enough. Do you think taking 2000mg a day is too much?
