[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1723927, member: 94045"] There are no official guidelines for GPs on Metformin dosage as far as I know. It is the first medication to be prescribed but the actual dosage depends on the GP and this decision should be made according to how he feels it will help you best. As it can aid weight loss slightly (appetite suppressant) then weight may come in to it, but only to help you lose weight and not because heavier people need extra. Your blood sugar levels should also be taken into account. I was overweight on diagnosis. My HbA1c was 53. I wasn't prescribed any at all. [/QUOTE]
