She said that metformin is fairly neutral in terms of weight reduction whereas her suggestions are much better at reducing weight alongside diet and exercise. I also have high cholesterol and family history of diabetes and heart disease. She suggested a statin but I asked if we could wait and see if my cholesterol reduces with the diet and she agreed I am very wary of side effects. I also have hideous stomach bloating that has been going on for a year now and my GP was concerned metformin would add to that.</blockquote>
