Hi i was just recentely diagnosid to. I have had since puberty. I am
taking spiro too and glucophage 1500mg a day and eating right and walking
too i have lost about 15 pounds in the last 2 months. Maybe you should ask
your doctor if glucophage would be right for you. It is supposed to help
you take off the weight. They will probably check your insulin levels to
see if you need it but it wouldn't hurt to inquire about it. Hang in there.
The slower you take off the weight the better it will be because it will
stay off. If you have any questions you can e-mail me at
kimmyg73@hotmail.com I would be happy to answer them for you the best I can.
Keep the faith.
