If I had bloodwork done today any locum would wonder why I was diagnosed with diabetes, but little over seven years ago i was thoroughly in the diabetic range. So who knows why they said that? I don't know when you test and where the 7 came from (morning fasting glucose, throughout the day, around meals?), but just that number alone doesn't say all that much to anyone here. Do you see why we can't advise on dosage, with incomplete information? What we can tell you, is that when your thyroid is out of whack, it can influence your blood sugar control. So it is worth it to have everything looked at. And metformin can only do so much about what your blood sugars can get up to, so if you are feeling better without it, or less of it, you might want to try a low carb diet to gain (more) blood sugar control. I couldn't stand the metformin side effects, so that's the route I went, anyway. <a href="https://josekalsbeek.blogspot.com/2019/11/the-nutritional-thingy.html" target="_blank">https://josekalsbeek.blogspot.com/2019/11/the-nutritional-thingy.html</a> is a bit of a how-to.Dunno if that helps at all, but can't offer more for the time being, I'm afraid. Take care eh,Jo</blockquote>
