And where on earth did these 40 pounds come from??? I'm not doing anything differently!

Ok, enough of my rant. Lol I'm so glad you answered me. Thank you!!!

Metformin is the brand name of the med you mentioned. I was on it for 10 years and then my blood sugars were regulating themselves. Yeah, I still have acne at my age but it is not as bad due to my BCP.
