Overweight, Diagnosed Type 2 Diabetic, High BP. Taking Metformin. Medication To Reduce Weight?
I have been diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic (down to 500mg of Metformin per day, blood sugar is 100-110 every day) and have high blood pressure. I have recently lost 150 plus pounds, but still have the belly fat from 35 plus years of being overweight. Is there a pill/product to attack this and help me lose the last 30-40 lbs?
