For whatever reason I just do not have much appetite on Metformin so far. Granted it hasn't been very long, but I was just curious if it will always be that way?
I am taking 1000mg in the morning and 1000mg in the evening (extended release) and I find that mostly the idea of food is not very appealing most of the time and when it is, it isn't long before the idea of taking another bite is almost impossible. This is despite the fact I have not eaten much (probably half what I would normally eat)
I have mild nausea periodically throughout the day. Not enough to feel I will be sick, just enough to think food sounds yuck.
I currently am around 5' 7" tall and 149 lbs and know that if I keep eating so few calories that I will likely lose more weight (I've lost about 13 since diagnosis in october). I am glad to be in a good weight range, but also do not want to dip down to far either.
Family members are starting to talk about how skinny I'm getting. So far it sounds positive but I know they will start worrying if it goes much further.
So any ideas on what to expect with Metformin going forward would be appreciated.
