The title is the argument: tried metformin for 12 weeks. here is what happened. Here is the rest of it.
To save the first four comments: 12 weeks.
The diabetes and obesity programmes are separate, with different populations and different primary endpoints. Reading a result across from one to the other is not a comparison.
Sensor accuracy varies across wear, and readings on the first day are the least reliable. Calibration practice and compression artefacts explain many alarming single values.
Screenshot none of this. Read the whole thread, including the parts where I am told I am wrong.

A1c reflects average glycaemia over roughly the preceding three months, weighted towards the most recent weeks. It cannot show variability and it lags any change you make.
CGM shows you the shape, A1c shows you the area
Panicked over a first-day sensor reading and rebuilt my week around it. It was the sensor.
I would not compare your numbers to that population. Different baseline, different regimen, different trial.
a1c can be affected by things that have nothing to do with glucose
dose for glycaemic control is not the same conversation as dose for weight

nadia_norgaard is right that the fasting number moves last. Knowing that in advance saves months of worry.
Is that a first-day sensor reading?
postprandial excursions are where most of the improvement shows up first
