metformin

[chocolate cups]

my hba1c level is 7.5, how high would it have to be to go onto metformin x

You are already in need of it by my reckoning. You should regularly come in well below 7

hi im on 1000mg 3times a day and im on insulin and my hb1a is down to 8.6

6.9 is normally enough

Right, paying attention now. In a fasting blood test 5.5 to 6.9 is regarded as pre diabetic and you may or may not get Metformin. Anything higher and you are diabetic and almost certainly will get Metformin.

In Hba1c terms the low and high targets I was set are 6.5 to 7.5. It seems you qualify.
