Hi folks
Managed to get my hba1c down from 90 to 63 since going on a pump however I gained over 2 stone in the process, I’ve managed to lose a stone but not happy about the increase as I was obese to start with! Consultant wants me to try metformin again to help with any insulin resistance I probably have due to my weight and said it may help me loose some too.
I had awful side effects last time so wary of trying again just wondered if anyone else was taking metformin for similar reasons and whether it helped keep the weight off or at least stalled it
