I drink my 8 glasses a day & STILL feel sooooo thirsty... I take 2000 mg of Metformin a day...

I eat some back, not all... I've been told I need to eat/drink protein before & afterwords, but like I really felt like I was going to kill-over. I have NEVER felt like that... I just am curious to know if I am eating & exercising the way I am supposed to now, would I even need to take it anymore... Does my insulin level…

Wow... some of these stories are heartbreaking... Good for all of you! We can do it!!!!! What did it for me? My stomach itching because I was developing stretch marks from getting fat... & I WASENT pregnant. So, that did it for me. I eventually want to get off of metformin... I hate taking medicine everyday =(

It really sucks because those of you that take Metformin KNOW the side effects & BOY are they quite fun [joking]... I have noticed though with my [regular] workouts on Monday, Wednesday & Friday I…
