Based on my three-month average blood sugar (HbA1c) of 6.9% and an average blood sugar of 150, do I have diabetes, and is it safe for me to take Glycomet SR 500 as my doctor recommended?

An HbA1c of 6.9% indicates mild type 2 diabetes, but please be reassured that this is highly manageable. Your doctor's recommendation of Glycomet SR 500 (sustained-release metformin) is a very safe, standard, and effective first-line medication to help bring your numbers down. It works gently by helping your body use its own insulin better. Taking this medication as prescribed, alongside a healthy diet and active lifestyle, is an excellent step toward protecting your health. Always feel free to share any feedback or side effects with your doctor.
