On my last blood test, they put my A1c glucose at 5.8.
My doctor freaked out and gave me a presciption for MetFormin.
I looked up the score on WebMD. Below 6.5 is normal, 6.5-8.0 is prediabetes and over 8 is diabetes.

I plan on tossing the pills.

What are they teaching young doctors now? They seem to panic on everything.

It is all about the $$$$$ to big pharma and the docs-my neighbor who is a pharma rep told me how it works-he jokingly calls himself a legal drug dealer...
