I'm dealing with obesity and my endocrinologist put me on Glycomet SR 850, twice a day for the next three months. I'm wondering if this medication will help me lose weight and how exactly it works. Could you explain it to me?

Glycomet SR 850 is a medication for type 2 diabetes management, not primarily for weight loss. However, weight loss may occur as a secondary effect
