[QUOTE="sally and james, post: 1936183, member: 93504"] Hi [USER=496584]@Dawn3750[/USER] That is good! So, let's start with the HbA1c. That is a sort of average of your blood sugar levels over the past three months. If you had one done tomorrow, it would be about the same, but if you have one done in three months time, hopefully, it will be down. The finger prick test is the amount of sugar in your blood stream, in that particular finger at that moment. It will vary considerably according to what you have eaten and a number of other factors (wellness, stress, exercise). The metformin will only have a limited affect on these numbers and takes a while to build up in your body. Taking a tablet now, won't affect blood sugar levels in an hour's time! I'm going to tag [USER=25759]@daisy1[/USER] for you. She has a very good post, which will appear here a little later on, with lots of info for newbies. Welcome, by the way, and do keep asking questions. Sally [/QUOTE]
