Doctor prescribed Metformin
Hi
My doctor prescribed me Glycomet Sr half in day and night.
Although my fasting Plasma Glucose is normal along with lipid profile.
But i have black skin of underarm, butt and inner thighs.
I reduced my weight of 4 kg but still bit overweight
My weight is 84 kg and Height is 5'6.
Should i take Glycomate ?
I don't understand why my doctor prescribed me Glycomate when my reports are normal
