Can anyone please tell me how high the BS level needs to be before being prescribed Metaformin? Thanks

Hi Broads :)

I don’t see how there can be any set numbers since we are all so different. Whether a prescription is given or not would depend on what the Gp’s take is on the patient’s condition as well as many other factors.

Rude people! Not being able to do the things I want to do.
NICE guidelines suggest an Hba1c of 6.5 % or over or an individually set number in agreement with patient.
