Birdie, I hope and pray it works for you. The esteemed Dr. W., my dipshite pdoc, won't address the metabolic syndrome mess I'm in. My GP tells me EXERCISE. It doesn't matter how little I eat, or how much I've exercised; Seroquel has wrecked my metabolism and caused immense weight gain, high bp, high cholesterol, higher glucose.
It's ridiculous that GP's don't pay attention to metabolic syndrome - it's ignorant of them not to.
Anyway, I'm sorry...I went off on a tangent. I do not have any direct experience with Metformin. My sister is not overweight (no metabolic syndrome), but her glucose was high so her (open-minded) GP prescribed Metformin. She took it for about 6 months and her glucose did go down. She decided to stop taking it, however, because it was causing her hair to thin.
