I have a h b a 1 c of 7.1 at age 39 and on metformin for three years it's been the same , should i look at changing the same?

Could be better: The A1c goal for diabetics is below 7, or as low as possible while avoiding hypoglycemia. If not already done, stick to a low glycemic diet, exercise 4-6 days a week, and maintain a healthy weight. If no improvement in A1c, you may need to work with your doctor to increase your metformin dose or add another medication.
