Ramachandran

Last two years annual checks my HBA1C was 6.0, 6.2. Now last few days back it is 6.0. I am not and was not taking any medications and careful about what I eat . Of late I am getting hot flashes and body gets heated but no infection and fever . It's hot I have to get my feet dipped in cold water and pour water on my body .Could this be due to sugar and can I take metformin 1 tablet ? This was suggested by my relative a doctor who practices abroad . Have done TSH and it is 0.51. My all other parameters like CBC , lipid, Liver , KFT are normal except Alk phosphates is around 36 I U below normal . Can I start taking metformin 500 one so that the hot flash stops . Thank you
