Common Questions and Answers about Taking glucophage for weight loss
glucophage
Thank you, PastorDan. I read something about Metformin that said if you have weakness, to not take Metformin and I sure don't need to add to my symptoms. I hope your wife is doing well today. Is she in alot of pain? I hope they can help her with the liver disease. I don't think I realized fatty liver could cause chirosis. That's kind of scary! I've had a fatty liver for many years. I really need to lose alot of weight but my insurance doesn't cover weight loss.
* It sounds like you're having alot of success on Metformin. Congrats on your weight loss!
The best solution for losing weight is a combination of caloric restriction and exercise. Losing weight is challenging but with weight loss your periods have a good shot at coming back to normal. Also, there are fertility pills and a diabetes medicine called glucophage which often help to start more regular ovulation. Good luck!
when i was 14,i started losing dramatic amount of weight,n i was getting my period for almost 6 months but they wud last for more than two weeks n they were really heavy.but after 6 months,evthing stopped n i was gaining weight.when i turnd 15,my mum decided to tk me to another gynae,n she sed i was having hormonal imbalance n suggested me to take diane 35 for two months apart from asking me to do some physical activities.i got my period for two months continuously,n started reducing weight.
I have been steadily packing on the weight for a few years now and cannot loose for the life of me. my tsh,t3,t4 always come back in normal range. Since iam no longer on birth controll i have elevated testosterone levels. I have done excersize programs and yes its good and all but it's not painless to cary around 220 lbs! The doctors all they say is loose weight and that pcos while linked to obesity is not the cause. I do not beleive that at all.
Is your son overweight? If so, his doctor may be trying to suppress his appetite in order to help him lower his weight. If he is overweight even though a type 1 diabetic, then some type 2 treatment may be necessary in addition to his insulin, for fat cells tend to cause insulin resistance problems. I am just guessing, based on what you wrote.
So far as a result I have lost weight which I needed to lose about 20-25 lbs to be what i need to be for my height. I never dropped the weight after my daughter. Then I will see him back and he will check my insulin levels and see what to do from there. He said it seems to him that the Metformin with maybe Clomid (maybe) will do the trick. He said the only thing that has changed since I had my daughter has been my weight and that made my PCOS kick in with the insulin levels.
Hello, again! Glucophage is just another name for metformin, which is what you described having problems with in your previous question, isn't it?
I find that now that I have been weaned off the Prednisone, approximately fifteen days now, my blood sugar readings have not returned to the normal range as prior to taking the Prednisone. I am within an acceptable weight range and exercise 45 minutes every day. I am distressed over this turn of events and am perplexed as to whether I will ever regain the good readings I previously had or now have to do something more drastic.
after @ a year, my b/s was still not doing as well as it should be, so Actos was added. I have now been on Glucophage/Actos for @ a year now. Last month I went to dr for a visit because all of my joints, including my hands were aching badly. We really had not sat down & talked for quite awhile. He felt that my aching hands were from my diabetes & said that if I did not start watching my B/s more closely he was going to have to put me on insulin.
Well it's not a weight loss pill. My main purpose for taking it would be to correct the high testosterone that I have and the weight loss is just a perk! You'd have to ask your doc for a prescript.
yes, check if you have pcos. you should be tested for this and not have your doctor assume a diagnosis as some do or dismiss. That is one sign (body hair) another is skipped/missed monthly cycles and weight gain that isn't easily lost. Your medication is a mask for pcos if that is what you have. If so you should be taking glucophage too.
Definitely a question for her doctor. We're not medical professionals here.
