I think the Gluc will allow your cells to process the sugar in your blood. I take a medicine called "METAGLIP" for diabeties. The Gluc helps your cells process the nutrients in your blood stream.

Glucophage is for type 2 diabetes, not for weight loss. The doctor probably wants you to lose some weight to keep yourself from needing insulin injections. Call his nurse or go back to see the doctor to find out if you are a diabetic. You need to know this! And ask for information if you are diabetic. Call the American Diabetic Association. They have a 800 number available.
