Could High Hemoglobin A1c Be Cause For Not Ovulating?

Hello Dr. I am trying for a baby for almost 16 months now. I first went to OB because my period were very irregular since I started TTC like once in 3 months before that it was 40 - 45 days. i had PCOS 8 - 10 yrs back. i am 28 now . My OB put me on CLOMID 50 mg no ovulation. then 100 mg clomid i ovulated only after 45 days. i had to move over to another state due to my husbands job transfer. Hence, after that i visited a RE. She told all my tests and confirmed i have no PCOS , did a HSG and my tubes were normal and other hormone levels are normal. But she also prescribed me METFORMIN . my hemoglobin A1C was 5.9 . then clomid 100 mg and HCG trigger later. My question is hemoglobin A1C be the main cause for not ovulating? and also Do i have type 2 diabetes? or highly prone to have a diabetes??? my paternal grandfather had high and paternal grandmother died of kidney failure. will metformin help me ? do i have to be cautious with my diet ?? i am 5 2 height and weighs 132 lbs.

this hba1c is quite normal. so p?s do not bother about it. continue Metformin. the main reason of not having ovulation is increased weight along with thyroid problems and high prolactin. pls check them and then consult doctor.
