Brief Answer:
it won't

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Pepcid won't interfere with either your glucose levels or with metformin. Please note though that an acute event like pain, fever etc may result in transient hormonal changes that counteract insulin and lead to blood glucose elevation.

I hope I've helped!
