Message: <blockquote data-quote="Incidentals" data-source="post: 1461272" data-attributes="member: 79068"><p>Metformin is used to reduce or prevent the liver from producing glucose, which it does to enable the body to function correctly, if you reduce your glucose intake too much the liver will compensate. So get control of your carbs and you should not need the metformin (or metfartin as we call it here in scotland). Anyhow mess with the liver and you mess with your output and its the increase in fats produced when metformin is used that messes up the whole process and causes the problems - so I have been told. Do not depend on metformin to solve your diabetic problems,  "fess up and take control" its your body your overfeeding! I should know I was nearly 19 stone now under 12 from 48" waist to 32" but I still wear the belt to remind me as we do not see ourselves as the fat people we really are when we are really big. My belt just has lots of holes in it and stops in the middle of my back.</p></blockquote><p></p>
