Hi all,
I often browse the :?: s and threads on here, and have one to raise myself.
quite often you get people diagnosed with a HBA1C of 7 or less some cases they are 6.5, and they are put on Metformin.
At my diagnosis of 7.0 it was clearly stated that there was no requirement fro me to go on meds and D & E was the way ahead. I followed a suitable regime and next test was 6.4
Again congratulated and no meds
The question is this......Is there a 'cut off' at which metformin will be prescribed as from what i have noted on here it seems to be haphazard.
I don't want to go on any more meds if i can help it, just wondering.
Thanks
Tony
