Glucophage for weight loss?

[chabutter 0]

Hey I was diagonosed with PCOS when I was 12 years old. I am 21 now, and went off of it at 18 when I lost 60 pounds in college) Since I have gotten rheumatism I have gained this weight back. Without metformin, I will not loose a pound. My blood sugar with it is positively normal, its my horomones that arent! If I take it, the one stupid hair that grows on my chinnychinchin doesnt grow. yay!

also, if you get under a 30 BMI you dont really need it anymore

HI Pam! Two years ago I was diagnosed with PCOS and I took glucophage to become pregnant with my second child. A nice side effect of glucophage was weight loss. I oftened wondered why it is not marketed as such. Long term use of glucophage does require liver and kidney monitoring. Good Luck. Hope this helps.

I am on both glucophage and byetta and have GAINED about 50 pounds since I started on them. I have type 2 diabetes and my doc had high hopes that these would help with weight loss. They did not but they did help with blood sugar control. My last A1C was 6.6 which was pretty good.
