I'm a diabetic taking metformin500mg without being tested she only checked my a1c levels and she said it looked ok so should i stop taken it if idk?

Need more info: If you were diagnosed as diabetic, you probably had a high hba1c at some time (>6.5%). Once on treatment with metformin, one would expect the numbers to improve. What did your doctor mean by ok for hba1c? Was it normal (.
