Medicine To Lose Weight While Taking Metformin For Type 2 Diabetes?
yes, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in November 2012 and I am taking metformin but I have not lost any weight. I was looking for an appetite suppressor to help me lose weight and give me a little boost off. I am eating right and working out but I have not lost any weight. I currently weigh 245 and I do want to lose at least 60 pounds in four to five months from now.

Hi,
Do regular exercise of 30minutes a day foe 6 days a week. Exercises like jogging, swimming, aerobics will do. With these avoid all high calorie food, non veg and have only green leafy vegetables. Before doing the exercises drink a glass full of hot water and start working.
While following this strictly you need to continue metformin and also maintain your sugar levels. IF any variation with your doctor's advice an start voglibose which will help in diabetes management as well as weight reduction.
Regards
