The biggest problem with Metformin is that it gives the patient a false sense of security that he/she is doing something. The bottom line is quit eating junk food and drinking sugary drinks. People need to understand that diet and exercise are the only things that are going to give them a good outcome. You can't reverse years and years of poor diet with a pill.
