How long does it take for metformin to work to help with weight loss and reversing prediabetes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Metformin works: Metformin works right away to do what it is meant to do, improve the utilization of sugar by your body. It can help with weight loss and reversing prediabetes but not without your help as well. Eat healthy (lots of vegetables especially!) and exercise lots.
