diabetes, type 2
"My Husbend is overweight.  We took this drug to help him lose weight.  However everyone in his family has diabetes or pre-diabetes.  His A1C at the time was 5.7 and he weighed about 210.  He is 5.6.  The weight should be 165-170.  I don't know however if we took the brand name or a generic form.  I also don't remember the amount he took.  Anyway, he lost like 5-10 pounds on it and after that no more.  But we saw around that time a rise in his estrogen from 35 to 49.  The lab say that it should be up to 40.  When we married 2 years prior, it was 35.  So I knew what it was to begin with.  I can't say for sure that metaphorine did it.  However,  we got off of it and now one year later it went back to 35.  Trace your estrogen before taking this"
