[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 582798, member: 41816"] Hi [USER=116538]@Kali[/USER] Maybe you could check that figure with the doc, and ask their reasoning? I was given metformin years ago when I was prediabetic, for another health issue, so it does get prescribed for different conditions, and can (if I remember correctly) help weight loss. If you do have normal blood glucose, and take largish doses of metformin it will lower your BG a little. There are a couple of people on the forum who have needed to lower their metformin dose as they have normalised their blood glucose (because it was taking their glucose levels too low). Like you, I always want to understand the 'why' and 'how' of things. So keep asking the doc til it makes sense to you! :) [/QUOTE]
