Jen the first thing I tired was Metformin by itself. I already had diabetes at that time and 3 months on MET was not controlling my sugars. I may have lost a few pounds on the met at first, if I did it was because of the awful nausea and diarhea that go along with it. Some people get used to it after a couple of weeks. My sister never did and finally just gave it up after about 5 months. It comes and goes for me, but after taking it for 2 1/2 years it still gives me diarhea and stomach cramps. For some reason taking the rezulin or avandia along with it, for me seems to help with the gastro distress, don't know why, Dr seems to think it is all in my head. Sorry if this isn't much help.
