But were you diagnosed as prediabetic? How did you start a new med without the physician giving you an explanation!! So you developed diabetes years after taking Metformin?

I was in the hospital with appendicitis and as I was leaving, the nurse said here is a prescription to get filled. I thought it had to do with my recovery. No one EVER mentioned diabetes or high blood sugar to me. I did become diabetic 7-8 years later with an A1C of 7.5 or so. No symptoms at all of diabetes. I only took the metformin for less than a month because I was nauseous and was having trouble eating. I am 82 now and have been on insulin for 4 years. Still no symptoms.
