Ok so I have done really well with my weight and have lost 1 stone (another 1 and a half to go) given up all cakes, bread, potato, crisps, sweets and any other no no's - decided low carb was the way to go.
My question is the good old Metformin side effects again - started tablets 9 days ago and have gradually built them upto 3 a day and side effects are fine apart from bloating!!!! Since I have been taking the tablets my weight has stayed exactly the same and not even lost a pound considering I was doing so well this is disappointing for me.
In my head I am thinking no weight loss? is this due to the tabs as diet has stayed the same (if not better than previous weeks)
My whole dilemma is if I can drop a stone in 3 weeks then I am obviously giving my body a better chance at controlling the diabetes. I have done a complete turnaround in my food intake and choices of food and felt healthier. The bloating and lack of any weight loss this wk has put me on the turn and now thinking of going back to diet and portion control alone. When I saw my doctor I wanted to try diet alone (diagnosed 5 wks ago) but he insisted I have the Metformin....
Has anybody else had this problem with Metformin?
