[QUOTE="ringi, post: 2180273, member: 410240"] Have you had a resent full blood count? One reason for a low A1c (4.1%) is red blood cells not living as long as normal, if it was me I would be asking questions about what is going on. (Internal bleeding is also a possibility) A Freestyle for 2 weeks is likely to give useful data an comfirm what your BG is doing, if its "predicted HBA1C" match the A1c then you know its not the life of your red blood cells giving a low reading. If your BG is truly that low, I expect you are getting no benefit from the Metformin. Your doctor not asking many questions about what is going on with such a low A1c concerns me. [/QUOTE]
