Hi Dawn, welcome to the forum 🙂 I'm really not sure of the answer to that one - hopefully one of our members who's done it will be able to share their experience. Your pharmacist will probably be a good person to ask too 🙂

Have you been diagnosed long?
 
Welcome to the forum Dawn 🙂

I believe the answer is about 48 - 72 hours.
 
Hi Dawn

I had to stop taking Metformin due to the side effects :( - I think from memory it took a couple of weeks for the effects to wear off - although I can't be certain that was the Metformin still affecting me.
