My Hba1c results show 6.6 and my fasting fingerprick showed 5.8 so the Dr. Prescribe me with glucophage 500 one tablet daily, shall I start taking the medicine or delay by doing exercises and walking? as I faced similar situation last year as my hba1c showed 7.9 and later showed normal 5.5 and consequently showed normal until today which showed 6.6. I'm confused whether to start the medicine now or not?
