These types of therapeutic systems release small amounts of hormones into the bloodstream, which in most cases have no effect on oral metformin.
There is an interaction between levonorgestrel and metformin, and this is much more likely to occur if both drugs are used orally.
Take metformin as directed by your doctor. However, check your blood sugar levels regularly while taking this medication, and if it remains high (or you notice symptoms of elevated blood glucose), contact your doctor.
Thank you for your reply! Please advise. What medicine to lower sugar can you take in the presence of Mirena?

The levonorgestrel in Mirena may reduce the antidiabetic effect of metformin, which may lead to an increase in blood glucose levels.
If metformin was prescribed by a doctor who knew you were using Mirena, please follow the dosage schedule he or she recommended. If your doctor was not aware of your treatment system, you will need to consult to adjust the appropriate metformin dosage.
Monitor your blood sugar regularly while taking medication.
