By definition the HBa1c is a 3 month average; hardly a blip. That HBa1C level needs action as NICE Pathways give 7.5% as the level to stay below and the Metformin increase will have little effect. Are you on a low-carb diet? If not then adjust your diet to have, say, a max of 150gm/day of carbs. How old are you and what has the HBa1C trend been since diagnosis. If you are not overweight and quite young then let us know as your diabetes type diagnosis may need to be reviewed.</p></blockquote><p></p>
