Hi, just remember Metformin is not a weight loss drug and I found that taking it alone did not help me to loose weight, I have been following a strict Low carb diet (not more than 25grams aday) and with that have managed to loose 40lbs. One thing you need to remember is muscle weighs more than fat so that might be why your weight loss is slow... what eating plan did dr gluecks dietician advise you on....

Kindest regards Nikki **PS** it took me 2.5 months to go up to 1500mg of met started on 500mg then a month and a half later went up to 1000mg
