[QUOTE="Mr_Pot, post: 2390579, member: 216415"] I have never had Metformin myself but it has often been said that it has a minimal effect on BG maybe a reduction of 1 mmol/L. As far as I know, unless it is very severe, glycation itself isn't a problem, it is just used as an indicator of average BG. If Metformin is altering the indicator rather than the actual effect, then that would be worse than useless. Having a broken speedometer doesn't mean you can exceed the speed limit with impunity. I think glycation works like being in a smoky room. If there is a lot of smoke and you stay there a long time, a strong smell will be attached to your clothes. If there is not much smoke or you are in the room for a short time there will be little smell attached. As regards your low HbA1c, have you considered what you BG level is overnight, you could be spending 8 hours at 4.0 for example, which would bring you average down considerably. [/QUOTE]
