Myth vs. Fact

Myth

“Metformin is only for people who already have diabetes.”

Fact

 It’s also prescribed for prediabetes, PCOS, and insulin resistance as a preventive and metabolic support tool.

Myth

“It causes significant weight loss on its own.”

Fact

Metformin’s weight effect is typically modest; it primarily supports insulin sensitivity rather than acting as a weight-loss drug.

Myth

“You can stop as soon as your labs look better.”

Fact

Your provider determines the appropriate duration based on your metabolic profile — stopping abruptly should be discussed first.
