Weight Loss and Metaformin

I am very concerned that since starting metaformin a year ago 500mg and in the last 5 months 500x2 mg I have lost nearly 8 Kg with no change in diet!!! There is no medical reference to this 'side - effect'!!!! I know it is a good thing to loose weight but not knowing why when I am in PR from a HCL-V a very rare leukemia.

I was first alerted to HCL-V when I lost weight and night sweating.

My A1c is 7.6% - still high.
