No I don't have diabetes. I only weigh 160. But he point at my gut and said I need to be on it.

For those who have. Does it really make you lose weight?

I've heard once you're on it, you essentially can never get off of it.

Track your diet and see what is effecting your blood sugar. And also walk after meals as often as possible.

On average people online usually say they are 40 lbs lighter than they are.. So based on that you are at least 200 lbs

I thought the main purpose of it was to help lower blood sugar and regulate insulin and whatnot.

What was his reasoning to put you on it, if you don't have diabetes? That seems odd.

It sucks.

It could help you lose weight, but that's case by case.

It will make you avoid carbs like the plague because they will put you in a coma while on metformin.

Metformin is from the 1950's and affects sugar

That is these new drugs, not metformin.

If you count lost water weight from constant diarrhea due to the meds, yes.

You're 5'8 160 and you have a gut? How much beer do you drink daily?

Have you ever pretended you were a dwarf? It's important you answer this truthfully so we can properly diagnose you.

If your idea of a good time is to visit the shitter about a dozen times a day, take it.

They will say metformin MAY curb your appetite

I changed doctors and my new, younger GP said no, no metformin

It did nothing for me and my a1c has always been perfect
