Re: No weight loss on Glucophage! From: Melinda (anonymous@obgyn.net) Thu, 30 Aug 2001 13:25:48 -0700 (PDT) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Melinda: "Re: side effect of Glucophage?" Previous message: Zowie: "Re: No weight loss on Glucophage!" In reply to: Zowie: "Re: No weight loss on Glucophage!" Next in thread: Linda: "Re: No weight loss on Glucophage!" To be even more specific, when a PCOSer loses weight on Glucophage (Metformin), it's not so much that weight loss is a side effect of the drug, it's that the insulin imbalance is what may have caused the patient to gain weight in the first place, and if so, restoring the *correct* insulin balance may cause the patient to lose weight (if the weight was insulin-related). The person who posted to say she had no decrease in sugar cravings -- to me, that is more of a signal that it's not working and the dosage may need to be adjusted, rather than just whether or not one loses weight. --Mel Get email alerts & NEW webcam video instant messaging with Yahoo!
