No, in most cases you do not need to stop taking Glucophage (metformin) before your HbA1c test unless your doctor tells you otherwise. Metformin (a component of Glucophage) is a medicine used to treat type 2 diabetes. It should not significantly affect the result of the HbA1c test, because it measures the average blood sugar level over a period of about 2-3 months, and not the immediate glucose level. If you are unable to get to your doctor, the GdziePoLek.pl service also allows you to obtain a teleconsultation with a doctor: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja I enclose a link to a page where you can check the availability of Glucophage in pharmacies in Poland and book the drug in the selected pharmacy: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/33311/glucophage-850-tabletki-powlekane/apteki
