It's more about carb & fat intake that aids weight loss, get the balance right & you have more energy & loose weight.....So those of you who have lost weight on Metformin,
do you think it is the metformin, or have you been particularly good or changed the amount of carbs and sugars you now eat as well?
I'm on the same dose xglad to here other people loosing weight i beginning to get worried thought something was wrong i was diagnosed t2 19/8/15 weighing 16st 12oz just been weighed and down to 15st 1oz take 2x500mg metformin along with a low carb diet happy days

I have copd on top of diebetis an on oxygen now toI was diagnosed as type 2 in November, and was on 1500mg and then put on 2000mg a day. I have lost 13kg ,
I'm not sure if its the metformin or just the fact that I have never eaten regularly ( I could go days without eating) and since I found out I was diabetic i have been eating 2 small meals a day. I also have a very stressful time with my 17yr old daughter and recently lost my brother in a scuba diving accident, so maybe stress is a participating factor in my weight loss as well.
Another interesting thing that I have noticed is that 6yrs ago I was diagnosed with COPD, but at my annual review in February (just 3 months after I was put on metformin) I was told that my airways had improved, which they do not do with COPD, I am now wondering if I ever had it in the first place, or if I was misdiagnosed all those years ago.

Hope you are all doing ok.

I really feel that the change in your diet is the cause of your weight loss not the medication I have not known of anyone caliming that this medication acts in this wayCongrats on your weight loss , Ive had my metformin upped to 2000 mg a day hopefully it works for me too lol
Erectile dysfunction or loss of libido are not listed as potential side effects of metformin but I think you should see your doctor about this. If you are on any other medication it might be a side effect of that. If you have had high blood sugars for a long time it could be a result of that, so getting your levels down may help, along with seeing your doctor in case there is something they can suggest.Well have been three 500 tablets for the past year, my weight stay roughly the same as do lot of walking My weight so 13 Stone
For man think good, But now concerned with f Type 2 Diebites affect man from getting good Having good sexual life Has any
man suffered same experance to thjis Tablett. Metformin
