I am a Type 2 diabetic and am on Metformin, 2 in the morning, 2 in the evening.
I have noticed over the past year that, although my diet hasn't changed much -still trying to watch calories, not using extra sugar, that my weight has steadily increased, 36" to a 38" waist.
The nurse at my doctor's surgery said: "Your weight hasn't increased since last year" but I know that ***can't*** be right.
Is there anything suspected about Metformin causing weight gain?
I'm also on Ramapril and Securon and Furosemide and have been for many years. Could there be an interaction there?
PS The weight gain started when I was on a tablet for sciatica and I was taken off the tablet for that reason.
