I've just turned 19, and I'm a girl who weighs only around 36-40 kgs. It feels like no matter how much I eat or how properly I do it, my weight just doesn't seem to go up. It's getting really frustrating because I'm looking really slim and can't figure out why. Could there be something else going on that I should be worried about?

This can occur if too much metformin accumulates in the blood due to chronic or acute (e.g. dehydration) kidney problems.
