I would like to know the same thing!! I have been on Metformin since Oct. 99. I started with 500 mg per day, and am now at 1500 mg per day. So far, I have not lost any weight, and I am craving carbs like crazy!! My facial hair has slowed it's growth very slightly, and I only have periods when I increase the dosage of medicine. The side effects have not been that bad - only when I increase dosage. I have nausea (but do not vomit) that only lasts a couple minutes at a time. I have had diarreha, but nothing that I can't handle. I would like to know if Met is really helping anyone!!
