i was diagnosed with diabetes shouldn’t my doctor suggest metformin?
hba1c levels above 6. 5% is considered to be diabetes. and you already have 7. diet and lifestyle will definitely help but you should monitor your blood sugar levels by checking your fasting the post prandial blood sugar levels. in case if they are consistently high then it is always better to take oral hypoglycemic drugs like metformin and others under supervision of a diabetologist. so my advice is to check for 15 days regularly and consult a diabetologist. hope this helps.
