Metformin is a commonly prescribed medication for managing type 2 diabetes. On average, Metformin can lower A1C levels by 1% to 1.5% over a 3-month period, depending on factors such as:

  • Dosage: Higher doses may lead to greater reductions.
  • Lifestyle Changes: Diet and exercise can enhance the medication's effectiveness.
  • Individual Response: Some people may experience more significant drops in A1C than others.

It's important to follow your healthcare provider's instructions and monitor your A1C levels regularly to assess the medication's impact.
