I would end up in a hospital with an IV in me once a year, and I finally just stopped taking the metformin and it all went away (but I gained weight). Now it's just flying off with the ozempic. A friend of ours went down something like 17kg in a year - she was like a fat girl and now looks like a normal girl, huge change. If you're fat, might be worth a try. It's like $170 for 4 weeks so not really that expensive.
