Talk to Diabetologist on Glucophage XR
Asking For Self, Female 22, Karachi
Assalam o Alaikum, I am 22 years old with 79 kgs, I had gained weight so i got my several tests done on the doctor's ask. My test reports for cortisol, Thyroid and Electrolytes is Normal, however Lipid profile and Insulin report is attached below. My doctor asked me to have a healthy diet, to exercise and prescribed me Glucophage XR 750mg. Our family gynae had advised me not to take it since it has side effects and i am unmarried. I previously also got a lumpectomy for Fibroadenoma in 2019, however i am okay and fine now. I have regular periods and no hrituism etc. I want to know is it safe to take Glucophage XR and is it necessary to take it? Or is it okay to lose weight with exercise and diet without medicines.

your lipid profile test are bit deranged however insulin levels are fine. Your BMI is 27 is quite high. You need to change your diet and exercise daily. Glucophage is not for weight reduction.
for detail you can consult with me online Via marham application.
