[QUOTE="peacetrain, post: 552173, member: 96747"] My last HbA1c was 5.3% (35) and this is in the normal range. The one previous to that was 6.9% (52) which was 3 months after diagnosis of T2. I had my metformin reduced from 3 doses of 500mg to 2 at that point. Now I'm at 5.3% it's been reduced to one dose but changed to the slow release version. I agree with the others, if your HbA1c result is what you said in your OP then your doctor seems to be giving incorrect advice. Mine has been reduced because I was feeling dizzy and had been for a few months. This was possibly due to too much metformin once my bg levels had reduced from the original 12.7% (115) in November. Perhaps you should double check? Sent from the [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig]Diabetes Forum App[/url] [/QUOTE]
