I have been reading here. Now its time to write.
I have been diabetic I guess from almost 3 to 4 years.
I have been taking Metformin for a while now.
June 2008, I started feeling pants are loose. So came back from visit to India, checked up weight it was 173 lbs.
Got worried so talked to doc. Doc made me take colonoscopy. I did it pass fine no problems.
Then my obsession with weight began.
08/2008 173 lbs
03/2009 169.5 lbs (H1C = 10.5)
(did walking regular 2x1000mg metformin)
06/2009 164.9 lbs (H1C = 6.5)
(did decent walking, regular 2X1000 mg Metformin)
10/02/2009 164.3 lbs (H1C = 6.0)
(did decent walking, regurlar 2X1000 mg Metformin)
12/28/2009 161.5 (diff scale, H1C unknown)
(did low walking, almost regular 2x1000mg Metformin)
I am very worried about my weight.
Not sure if Metformin is causing it to come down or not ?
I do have the regular Metformin symptomps. Bad stomach, diahoreal symptomps etc.,
Does Metformin cause sudden weight loss ?
Or gradual weight loss ?
Is this worry about weight mental or should I be worried ?
After weight loss my H1C has reduced, Liver numbers are a lot better. (I had fatty liver)
Recently my Albumin number is 5.2. Doc did not seem concerned.
To the best I remember 182 lbs was my best weight (3 years ago I guess).
Any help is appreciated.
