in Goal: Maintaining Weight
So, I have been put on metformin by my doctor. I am following a diet plan and it is working. My question is, have any of you taken metformin? If so, did your doctor take you off it when you lost the weight?

    I've never heard of taking metformin just for weight loss. My husband has been on it for his diabetes for years, but It didn't help him lose weight. Cutting calories worked though. If you are pre-diabetic or type 2, then losing weight may lower your A1C enough that you can stop taking it.
