Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query.
I have seen the given details. With hba1c% 6.8 % you are having diabetes. Pre-diabetic condition is considered when hba1c% is between 5.9 to 6.4%.hba1c% > 6.5% is diabetes.
Since you are on metformin 1000 mg twice a day, there is a possibility of getting its side-effects like repeated loos motions and other gastrointestinal symptoms also.
In the information there is no mention of your age, fasting and pp glucose levels also. Thanks.

Get your sugar levels checked fasting as well as pp of same day from lab not from glucometr. Along with hba1c. Reply with reports & all medicines with dose to click on private

Better take homeopathic treatment. It can cure PCOD.
