Actually, Metformin (or Glucophage) is not only used to reduce glucose levels, but insulin, and testosterone as well. The side effects of which reduce all of the following; acne, hirsutism, abdominal obesity, and amenorrhea.

Metformin has many other health benefits and relatively low negative side effects. Your doctor or pharmacist should be able to address those concerns better though.

The short answer to your question is yes. It should help reduce weight. Glucophage has been proven to have had positive effects on pregnancy as well as negative though. So if you are planning or thinking about having kids soon, you should tell your doctor or pharmacist this as well.

Evian Gillette answers:

Swimming is a good whole body workout but not very effective to lose fat reserves, since your body instinctively wants to hold on to fat because the fatter you are, the better you float. I use swimming more to build up muscle mass and because it’s low impact and relaxing (I don’t swim fast). It makes me ravenous and I have to eat more when I swim so I would not lose much fat reserves. Also, I’m thin so I don’t float. If I don’t move in the water, I sunk to the bottom of the pool (only makes me a good underwater swimmer). I spend so much energy just staying afloat that I’m exhausted after half an hour and just want to get a sauna and a snack.
