My age is 59 years. My Fasting blood sugar was 120 to 140, PPBS was 160 to 200, HbA1C was 6.4 to 7.00. At the time of my ankle surgery and after, I've been taking Metformin Hydrochloride Prolonged Released 500mg once a day for the last 10 months. With this medication, my FBS has been 126 to 142, PPBS 155 to 170, HbA1C 6 to 6.4. Should I discontinue and stop the above medicine ?
Ans: Hello. It is best to continue. You are still in the high prediabetic range per HBa1c and there is long term benefit to controlling the sugars tightly for another 10-15 years for you.
