That's right, after LOWERING my dosage of metformin (generic glucophage) six months ago; my HbA1C went DOWN to 5.5 from 5.8. Yes, I brought my average blood sugars DOWN by reducing my medication and increasing my cardio and strength training. It's only a decrease of about 8 mg/dl but that's an average over 24/7. AND I went from 2000 mg metformin to 1500 mg. I know "they" say it can and should work that way, but I'm the first to admit I didn't believe it. (Or that was my excuse for not trying harder).
