Are any drugs better than Metfomin for type 2 diabetes? I'm asking on behalf of hubby(type 2) Doc. says metformin best as Hubby overweight
The problem is he also suffers from recurring cellulitis and exema, and the Metformin increases the itching so mu much that hubby can't stop scratching and rubbing.

I am going round in circles trying to make a decision for an eating plan !! I am type 2 Diabetic controlled with Metformin,
I really want to try to control my weight with really low carb diet but then I run out of food choices, I could live on fruit, nuts, cheeses, meat etc but the I am concerned that I will be overloading on sugar from the fruit. I just want someone to TELL me what to eat to lose a pound or two a week.

My doctor referred me to a bariatric surgeon to discuss weigh loss surgery options. I am also highly anemic and low

Fasting sugar 7.15am 127 consistently in spite of all the diet control and a tab of 500 mg metformin sr. No clue why as it is not supposed
to be so. Today I got up early at 5.00 am and thought of checking. It was 109 at 5.15 am. Watched TV for next 2 hrs and checked. Surprise 127 at 7.15 am. If this gives an indication that while 7.15 am level appears high, at 5.15 am level is under control (given the -ve tolerance of meter) All

Started metformin
Should this join together with my thyroxine and give a good weight loss??? Can't tolerate fatty food already, only started it yesterday!!! The metformin has been prescribed to suppress my appetite and sort my hormones out. I'm not diabetic!!

She gave me an article that discusses RLS and Metformin (a diabetes drug) I thought that I would pass this along because she wants to know if anyone else has had this same problem. She is on Metformin and has been for 3 years. Here is
