Q: Metformin for type 2

My dad just got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. He is taking Metformin HCL 750mg. I was wondering if anyone has had good experiences with this drug? He seems to be doing very well. He has lost 9lb. since Christmas. I'm sure that has helped too.

He wants to try some natural products as well. Is it okay to take some natural things while on this med?

Thanks,
hamrickm Laughing

It possibly is fine for him to take natural products, but ask the doc. Also, beware of fraudulent products. Research natural products at a place like nutritionaltree (and read their buying guide).
