What if my A1c is 6.5% or higher?

That is in the diabetes range, not prediabetes, and belongs with our Type 2 diabetes options rather than this lane.

Is metformin required, or just an option?

It's a discussion, not a requirement. Lifestyle change is the foundation for prediabetes; metformin is one option the physician considers alongside it, based on USPSTF and ADA guidance and your individual risk factors.

I'm having a CT scan with contrast soon — does that matter?

Yes — metformin is often held around contrast-dye imaging, so mention any scheduled scan before starting.
