Hi all!
I'm new to this forum so excuse me for any mistake I make.
Just a briefly gext about me.
I'm female, 18. I was overweight for long before I reached out and then I was just a little away from having diabetes type 2.(pre-diabetes)
Just a background: it's genetic. My hrandma had too, it passed on to my aunts, uncles and mom, and it passed on me.
I was weighting around 100 kilos at 1,65m.
Went to the doctor (Endo) and he said I had to loose weight fast otherwise I'd end up with diabetes.
Overall, first too months of metformin (2000mg a day) did nothing but give me diarrheas and I still gained weight, no changes in appetite.
But at some point, I myself decided to change my diet to loose weight, get in shape.
I don't think metformin helped me loose weight but my diet, I worked a whole lot on it to be balanced!( I may be wrong about met helping me or not, don't judge!)
I did a lot of efforts to loose weight , I lost 33 kilos and I'm now with 65 (been pretty consistent for the last 8 months, gained 2kgs but lost them immediately).
Doc says he doesn't want to loose any more and that my blood sugar is almost normal!
He reduced from 2000mg to 1000mg met a day and since December he reduced from 1000mg to 500mg only.
My weight fluctuates, from say, 65-67 but never goes further (say when I eat a bit more at a party or so) but I manage to get it down anyway.
At the very beginning, my doc told me met wasn't going to make me loose weight.
I didn't have any appetite changes at all, sometimes I'm really hungry but I manage to get it under control.
I walk regularly.
My question is, will I gain weight when I'm off metformin?
I'm beyond scared because I worked a lot on it ( won't detail it but I have severe depression due to being fat and people bullying me, so I'm terrified of gaining back).
PS: I didn't notice any weight gain when reducing. Also my periods got more regular when I had lost 10 kilos ( around 4 months on met) can it be related to met or weight loss?? Also I started having weakness and hypoglycemic episodes once I stopped loosing weight and still on 2000mg.
Thoughts on this, y'all?
Thanks in advance.
