Well... so many questions here about Metformin and weight. I have done really well with Metformin. I'm really happy with it. I have been taking 1500 mg daily since May 1999 along with Ortho Tri Cyclin. I have went from 216 lbs. to 160 pounds. I still have some abdominal obesity, but I feel like my fat has redistributed. The metformin took away alot of my hunger. I also really cut down on the amount of carbs that I ate. So 56 lbs is a lot of weight. Yes it can be done. I have so much more energy and less mood swings that when my insulin was swinging all over.

I feel so much better than in the dark days of undiagnosis. My best advice is not to take no for answer from any member of the medical profession. Fight for yourself. No one knows your body like yourself. I wrote letters, made appointments, and made phone calls to doctors, insurance companies, and nurses.

your cyster,
