genuine question about A1c that I am slightly embarrassed to ask
Something I noticed reading old threads that I have not seen said out loud.
The advice on metformin in this community changed substantially around the start of last year, and nobody went back and updated the older posts. So depending on which thread the search engine hands you, you get two contradictory answers with the same confidence.
I have listed what I think the current consensus is below. Correct me — that is the point of posting it.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Dead space in the needle hub holds a small but non-trivial volume. On low-volume draws that can be several units.
Sweden here. Waited 19 months on a list, gave up, went private, and the total cost was roughly what I expected.
Came off after 14 weeks for financial reasons. Regained about a third over the following year. Back on now at a much lower dose.

Flair changed to match the content. Read the sidebar before posting next time and we are square.
Water content matters more than people think. If a vial is carrying residual moisture, your "10mg" is not 10mg of peptide.
the A1c change is the signal
The evidence standard in c/vendorvetting gets called too strict about once a month, and every time, the thread ends with the complainant agreeing.
This is correct. Hypo risk is real.
Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.
Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with T2D, not with what you concluded.
