Stopping Metformin transient glucose increase

[HealthMan]

For those who stopped taking metformin. Did you experience a transient increase in fasted blood glucose? My blood glucose on metformin has been around 90 (97-99 without it before using). After a few weeks of quitting metformin i had bloodwork done and fasted blood glucose came at 105. Wondering if there is a period that the body needs to adapt to function well without metformin? Also at the same time i started intermittent fasting which i have read that can increase blood glucose (some articles say the oposite)

What's the difference in your a1c with and without metformin.

What's the difference in your a1c with and without metformin.

My A1C without metformin came at 5.2 (4.8-5.6 range) with metformin it is usually between 5.3-5.4. So not much of a difference there.

Yes, your a1c looks really good.
