I know for my own doctor my second appointment was one made expressly for the purpose of putting me on medication  which it has turned out I do not need ( yet). For much of the medical profession drugs seem to be the first line of defence.  Many people may be in the same category and if they don't consider it they will not find out because then they cannot tell what is medication and what is diet and thus find themselves feeling dependent on a drug that they may not actually be dependent upon. I have myself wondered if  should try metformin anyway because of the other supposed health benefits.   On the weight front, you are not alone.  I lost 23 kilos and whilst that seemed relatively effortless all it really did was move me from morbidly obese to just very obese.  The other half feels like it may never start to go so I feel for you.</blockquote>
