75 gram Glucose tolerence test
Detailed Answer:
Good day,
Noted your concern. I guess your HbA1c is 6.34% and Random gucose is 101. I would wait to start on any drug in a hurry. METFORMIN is a great drug, but at your age, i would go a bit slow. The best option is to get a 75 gram glucose tolerence test. This will guide us further
