HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Glyformin helps with insulin resistance (when the body does not respond to its own insulin). It is mainly used in prediabetics (to slow down progression to diabetes), diabetics and women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).

It can help reduce this resistance and may assist with weight loss in some persons. In others, it is weight neutral, this means that it neither causes increases or decreases in weight unlike some other diabetic medication.

It would be best to speak to your doctor before starting any medication.

I hope this helps
