Metformin AND Ozempic?!

Hong Kong Yanpep International
The Metformin GI experience is highly individual - some people tolerate it fine and others find the diarrhea effect persistent regardless of whether they're on immediate or extended release. XR reduces the severity for a lot of people but not everyone. Tirzepatide's GI mechanism is a different kind of digestive disruption but the combination can compound for some.
 
Starting metformin in the prediabetic range at 6.4 and then a year and a half on ozempic with 80 lbs down and A1C into most likely normal range is the full metabolic correction story. The OP's 15 lbs on metformin then stalling before Ozempic is the first chapter of a similar path. The combination is common and the results you described are exactly what to aim for.
 
metformin plus tirzepatide or semaglutide is a common combination for T2D management and most people find the combination adds something over either alone. the mechanisms are different enough that they don't just overlap - metformin works on insulin sensitivity and hepatic glucose production while the GLP-1 handles the other side of the equation
