Hello,
I want to join others here, and say how helpful these forums are! Thanks for sharing this information!

I was started on Metformin in April of 2015. Had Bg/ml readings well over 200, and weighed 332 lbs. I was one of the lucky ones, in that a side effect of Metformin was weight loss, regardless of what I ate. I lost about 35 lbs, and plateaued around 295, down from 332.

I have now added counting calories, and carbs, using "Loseit" app system, and have lost another 15 lbs.

In addition to Metformin, my Dr has added/tried many drugs: farciga, then invokana, Byedueron, then Trulicity. I hope to reduce the number of meds in time, but he is an aggressive prescriber. My A1C has gone down to 6, and I hope my next blood test to be 5.

I'm glad to be in this forum. Thanks again!
