[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1743545, member: 94045"] Metformin is an appetite suppressant, so in some people this helps with weight loss by helping them to eat less. Certainly less insulin should help with weight loss. Insulin is a fat carrying hormone. Too much of it circulating round your body causes weight gain. There is no magic weight loss figure for diabetes remission. Some can achieve remission without any weight loss. Others need to lose a lot more than 15kg. Much depends on how much you are overweight to begin with, how much fat there is round the liver and pancreas, and how insulin resistant you are. It is the same as asking how long a piece of string is. [/QUOTE]
