Has your doctor prescribed Metformin? Are you saying that your HbA1c is 42 therefore pre diabetic? It is unusual to take Metformin at that level, but I think I would ask your doctor.
Thanks for your reply, started on four tablets a day, reduced to 2 tablets a day at my last blood test for it at doctors. Had a medichecks test done down to 42 on 2 tablets a day. Think I need to talk to the diabetic nurse at the surgery. But thanks your advice much appreciated.
have a telephone appointment with her 1 September she is very good, so hoping I can come off it. But thanks for what you have said.
