| I take 1 x 500 mg Metformin (with breakfast) daily. It seems to work for me. We are all different but you should consider taking the Metformin.
I hope to get my BGLs to a consistently normal level. I'm making great strides in achieving that through sensible diet, regular exercise and yes, Metformin.
My doctor is pleased with my progress to date and has even suggested that if I can get (and maintain) my A1C below 6.0, I might be able to stop taking the meds.
With your current BGLs you are not really doing as well as you could be. I don't know if taking the Metformin would help but its worth considering.
I hate taking pills but the potential consequences from poor BGL control seem worse to me.
I guess, we all have to do what seems best for us.
