Not true. I stopped taking it and told my doctor after the fact. The side effect of constant trips to the bathroom was too much.

Look... OTers do truly want to help here, but it starts with honesty. Not only with us, but more importantly, yourself.
That said, are we talking 3 bills, or more like 600lb life candidate territory?

If you don’t have Type 2 diabetes then why are you going on Metformin? You aren’t making much sense

Michael Turner LSU corner back is 6-1 162he ain’t need no metformin. He needs rice in the gumbo.
Wash it down with Laverne’s milk and Pepsi.

If you are 160 lbs and they are wanting to put you on a diabetic drug to lose weight, you need to find another primary doctor. ASAP. Your doctor listens more to drug reps than common sense.

You can inherit a predisposition for Type 2 diabetes but it’s usually later in life or when you are overweight. It’s possible he is a type 2 and not be overweight but unlikely

If you’re 5’8” and weigh 160 but have a gut, it sounds like a fatty liver.

My wife had to take it when she was pregnant, but no she didn't lose weight.

There are many better alternatives if you're just trying to lose weight.

They will give it to patients with elevated blood sugar (pre-diabetes).

Yes, I'm pre-diabetic. I was on it for two weeks. During that time, it gave me the shits from Hell. My doctor prescribed another drug, solving the problem.

My late father got diabetes and was 6 feet and never weighed over 180 pounds in his life.
