Not Diabetic/weightloss
UpdatedI am not diabetic or in any stages. My doctor gave it to me to help with weight loss. I have about 30 lbs to lose and cant get rid of it. I am 55. Will this hurt me to take this?

It seems that in some people a sluggish metabolism that makes it difficult for them to lose weight can be caused by insulin resistance and it can sometimes be helped by having them take an antidiabetic medication that can improve their body's use of insulin.

Common side effects may include nausea, dizziness, flatulence and stomach pain.
There are possible risks with taking any medication, but only you and your doctor can decide if the possible benefits outweigh them.
Have you discussed your concerns with your doctor?
