Why fasting sugar varies from 78 to 130 everyday , i am on metformin , what is the value i need to maintain .plz advise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
These are good: Numbers and show the metformin to be working.Get a glycohemaglobin test, after your 3 rd month of metformin , to get a more complete assessment of your blood sugar overall average and whether you r on the proper dose of medicine.
