A member asked:
At which sugar level start metformin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HGbA1c: The main criterion of diabetic control is the blood test hgba1c rather than isolated blood sugar level. If your diet is adequate and your kidney function is normal, metformin is often the first medication used when hgba1c levels are not at goal(under 7 for known diabetics).
