Hi your HbA1c is a Blood Test that shows what your average level has been during the preceding 3 months . It gives a good idea of how good your control has been during that time . 🙂

That makes a lot of sense - the metformin you were taking wasn't needed in the quantities you were taking it as your blood levels were good!🙂
Thats good then , it means you are controlling your levels well with diet and the Metformin , hence being able to reduce the Metformin
Keep up the good work and try to get a new meter , I would take that one back to Boots and tell them its faulty >> I wouldn't say it's been next to the fire though 😉 You can also Email any of the other companies and tell them you are Diabetic and would like a free meter , tell them you test regularly and they usually send them out within a couple of days. What was your name btw , I know you are a guy although your log in name is confusing alot of people I think hehehe![]()
