Brief Answer:
Dear friend, check your HbA1c and thyroid profile

Detailed Answer:
Dear friend, greetings from HCM, I understand your problems.

You must check your HbA1c, microalbuminuria, thyroid hormone profile, lipid profile, complete blood count and report it to us. Some times it could be due to meformin but could be due to hyperthyroidism too. So please get all the investigation s and meet your consultant soon.

It is always better to control blood sugar with diet and exercise as much as possible.

thanks and do contact us for more queries.
