I was put on metformin without any explanation as to why. I had had appendicitis and was sent home with metformin.....(5 years later developed diabetes!) after a few days I began to lose my appetite and it finally got to the point where I couldn't even have a cup of soup.

But were you diagnosed as prediabetic? How did you start a new med without the physician giving you an explanation!! So you developed diabetes years after taking Metformin?

@ksdm I might be a Dr’s worst patient possible (or a control freak). I don’t accept any medication, test or diagnosis without a satisfactory explanation of why. After all YOU are the patient and it is YOUR body and health that you are trying to care of. Ask questions until you understand and can agree to the treatment plan.
