[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1608514, member: 94045"] On each of those 3 month reviews you will have had an HbA1c among other things. Fasting does not and never will affect the HbA1c result. This test is an average of the previous 2 to 3 months and what you did the night before or the morning of the test will have zero effect. All it affects is a plasma glucose test (or a finger prick test) which are both snapshots of your levels at the time of the test. Hopefully now your doctor will sort you out with some more appropriate medication. It would seem Metformin is insufficient on its own. Please see your doctor and take along a written record of your own finger prick results and when each test was taken (before and after food, and what food was consumed) [/QUOTE]
