Hi Dana,

People react differently to metformin, but it is known to reduce fat and reshape your body (more feminine in contrast to the masculine type caused by excess androgens.) Has your cycle returned while on metformin? How do you calculate that your weight loss was more from your muscles than from fat?

Looking forward to your answers Sam
