Hi, not really positive however when I was diagnosed with diabetes cut out all the food that I was told to, started taking metformin, 1000 mg a day I started losing weight. I lost 10lbs a month for 3 months.
Yes, Metformin is reported to help decrease appetite, but then you still need to do the weight of eating less and exercising more! The good news is that cutting carbs will help both your blood sugar and your weight! (which in turn helps your blood sugar!)
