I don't think doctors in the UK usually prescribe metaformin for pre-diabetes. Mine didn't, and I was only told I was pre-diabetic one year before I became diabetic. I had apparently been pre-diabetic for at least two years prior to that - I only found that out when I got access to my test records. When I was told I was pre-diabetic I wasn't told what it meant or what I should do.Even when I was diagnosed as T2 I wasn't prescribed meds. This year at my GP review after annual HbA1c I asked if I should be prescribed Metaformin as my level was creeping up (46), in the pre-diabetic range. But I was told I didn't need it as I am 'well controlled'.</blockquote>
