What specifically worked for me: combining medication with structured exercise. I would suggest ricardo_MIA try the same approach and reporting back.

Dr.NateNeph nailed it. Building on that — Got off metformin for the first is something I discuss with my PCP regularly, and their clinical perspective aligns with what Dr.NateNeph described.

One thing I would add: the first few weeks are not representative of long-term results.

Clinical perspective on Got off metformin for the first time in:

I have managed ~150 patients on GLP-1 therapy and this topic comes up frequently. What the data shows — and what I see in practice — is that proper titration prevents most adverse events.

For this specific question, I would recommend: reviewing the relevant clinical guidelines.
