I’m a 66 year old female with pre-diabetes for about the past 10 years. For the most part, I have been managing it with diet and exercise. I’ve been under a lot of stress the past few years due to being primary caregiver to my partner, and his death 2 years ago. My A1C ranges from 6.1-6.3, but last one was 6.7.

In the past I have worked hard to stay off of Metformin. I think I viewed going on it as a failure. I also had some misconceptions about it, like it would cause weight gain.

Can any of you who are on Metformin share your experiences?

Thanks for your help!
