I sometimes get a metallic taste if I eat something with fake sugar in it. Have you done that recently?

Maybe you have heavy metals in your body. It might be worth your while checking that.

I got a vile, persistent metallic taste in my mouth after starting metformin.
Couldn't bear it. So stopped.
The taste disappeared immediately.

An HbA1c is just in the Prediabetes range. I would suggest you add a little more exercise to you life and if you have weight to lose then a few pounds would be good. As for the metallic taste I am afraid I can't help there
