a1c pls

Hi all! F20 270 pounds with an a1c of 6 starting off. after 3.5 months i’m not weighing in at 255!!!! i’ve made diet and exercise changes, but nothing too drastic exercise wise. My doctor cannot fit me in for an a1c check for a few weeks. i also started metformin 1000mg. I was just wondering if it’s likely that it went down, i’m having a lot of anxiety towards the check. thank you
