Detailed Answer:
Good day,
First of all let me tell you that Type 2 Diabetes is a well controllable disease and good control of diabetes can prevent all cmplications. Your doctor's choice is good. Metformin is the initial choice. Could you let me know what dose has been prescribed ? What is your fasting glucose and HbA1c. Did you do a lipid profile and creatinine ? These tests are also required for assessing further. I would appreciate if you could attach the resiults to this question
Regards
Binu
