Please take care with Glucophage, don't take it if you are not 100% sure
that you have an insulin problem. I took it for a month or two thinking
that insulin was making me fat; not only I didn't lose any weight, but when
I stopped Glucophage I gained weight for a while because my pancreas had
slowed down, maybe almost stopped working - hey, someone was doing its job,
why bother ? I panicked thinking that I could have caused myself to become
diabetic - don't know if it could have happened, but I was worried !

(Now I'm trying Zyban... Isn't working either :-((((((((((((()

Sorry, I don't have any answers for you... But please be very careful !
