Taking metformin ( glycomet ) regularly and reducing weight will further help matters.

I do have regular period every month with a slight up nad donw in the dates.
I hope that shouldn't be a problem with my fertility in future.
I am worried if Glycomet(twice a day-500 mg) will affect my sugar levels in future.
And I have not gone through the blood test yet; just done with the scan of the abdomen.
Please confirm me at the earliest.
