    Metformin

    It's our decision what we take and why. What else are you doing to help yourself i.e. diet and lifstyle changes? I took the Metformin as I realised my reasons for not taking it were purely because I don't like taking meds when lifestyle changes hadn't been given a chance. I made the lifestyle...
