[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2522862, member: 365308"] I think she is trying to have her cake and NOT eat it because the action of metformin is to inhibit production of glucose by her liver. Less glucose means less fat storage (for type 1 we can't stop our livers chucking out glucose) but I am surprised she's lost 4kg unless she is merely being coy re the stomach issues. Reminds me of my taking medicalised speed to lose eight (worked but being slimmer didn't sort my self esteem out and it had side effects). She probably needs to ponder why she is a slave to her scales and this diet culture. As a type 1 I also get annoyed when people take meds they don't really need to sort a problem that in her case, they don't really have or could solve without pharma. [/QUOTE]
