Your diabetes is not being adequately managed with Metsmall 500 alone if your HbA1c is between 7 and 8.5 percent. In addition to reviewing your food and exercise regimen, you might require a dose change, twice-daily metformin, or another medication. To avoid long-term issues, please speak with your doctor about changing your course of therapy.
