It's just diet and exercise. If I know I'm about to eat something with a high white flour or sugar content, I may take a metformine tablet to encourage my body to process the glucose more efficiently. My endocrinologist prefers to prescribe metformine for scheduled use. I prefer to take it as needed. My yearly checkup, blood test will be mid November. I expect my A1C to be 5.9. The largest contributor to my low A1C was losing fifty lbs. in about six months by changing my eating habits and exercise. I lost the weight about three years ago and typically gain and lose a couple lbs. now.
I had to cut back on my exercise this summer because 100 degree temps while exercising was really hard on my old body. It may be reflected a little in my A1C. With cooler weather, my exercise will increase.
