Latest blood sugar report
Hi doctor, I am a little bit confused, please help me!
On November 28 my HBA1C was 7 and I started taking metformin 250 twice a day as per doctor's advice. Then on Feb 11 my HBA1C came out 6.6. I was advised to continue the same medicines, so did I. But in March i stopped taking medicine and precautions and today I went through the tests again and my HBA1C is 6.4. How without medicines and precautions my HBA1C came down.? Is the report reliable or not? Please advise if I need to continue the medicine or not?

Hi., I can understand your concern.
It can be due to proper diet or exercise.
But it still suggesting prediabetic condition.
Do check for FBS and PPBS and review.
