Yes, the use of metformin for 2 weeks may affect the results of the study.
The examination was aimed at diagnostics. Can taking this drug in such a short time have a big impact on the result?

Discontinuation of metformin (the active ingredient of Glucophage) before performing the sugar curve depends on the purpose of the study. If you have already been diagnosed with carbohydrate metabolism disorders and the test is used to assess the effectiveness of treatment, you do not need to discontinue metformin. However, if the test is for diagnostic purposes or is a follow-up after an extended period of time (e.g., after a year), it is usually recommended to stop taking metformin for at least 7 days before the test. It is best to consult the doctor who ordered the test to determine what its purpose is.
