I don't think metformin does help with weight loss. From the sound of it you've done it all by yourself.
Good book - Reverse Your T2 Diabetes by Dr David Cavan. That tells you all about how to eat to reverse your T2. I bought the book, followed his advice to the letter, didn't count a single calorie and as well as losing a lot of weight I'm no longer T2. I also bought his recipe book but I can't say I like it, I discovered that. the recipe book that goes with The Blood Sugar Diet is much better - well for me it is and I think if you don't like the food you won't stick to he regime.
Look on the DietDoctor.com website, they run a free six week course that helps you get your head round the sort of stuff that's best for people who are diabetic.
Well done to you, I know that you've worked really hard to control your weight and get where you are ☀️
Congrats, that is a great weight loss. I have been taking furusomide for 2 weeks (without dieting) and only lost 1 1/2 lb so I would pat yourself on the back for the good work with the diet, it doesn't sound like it's all water to me.
