I'm really worried about my sugar levels; they've hit 163. I need to bring it down in just three days. Is that even possible, and could you recommend any medication that might help? I'm trying to get ready for a company test and want to make sure everything's under control.

Metformin can cause short-term side effects like stomach discomfort. The most serious of these is lactic acidosis, a condition caused by buildup of lactic acid in the blood. This can occur if too much metformin accumulates in the blood due to chronic or acute (e.g. dehydration) kidney problems. Generally, though, metformin is considered to be a safe and effective treatment for type 2 diabetes and prediabetes.
