A member asked:
I am a 40year old woman with high cholestrol & at pre-diabetic stage.i would like to know if glucophage (metformin) would help me loose weight.

Possibly: In clinical studies, glucophage (metformin) causes an average of about 2 kg weight loss but i wouldn't use it in your case for weight loss but rather to improve how your Insulin is functioning. You can use glucophage (metformin) but also try to change your diet and start an exercise routine. This is better for you in the long run.
