I understand that metformin apart from being prescribed for type 2 diabetes, is also prescribed for weight loss for obese people. I'm on metformin for the past 1 1/2 months and have lost 10 lbs. But, I was on a diet control too so I'm not sure if and what role metformin played in my diet. But, I don't carve for food as I used to. |
Thanks for the information - 10lbs is equivalent to 4.5kg so my weight loss is possible.
Another problem which may be related to rapid weight loss is that I appear to have gout - not in the large toe but my elbow - looking into this!!!!
