Depends on the grade. Acne or pimples. Due to hormonal changes. Oily skin causes it. Common in adolescent age. May occur in adults also. Food like Oily foods, ice cream, chocolate and sweets increase it. Treatment depends on the grade of pimples or acne. So, please send photos by direct online consultation as it's a must to see which grade of pimples or acne for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

As a rule diabetic medicine should not be taken by a normal person. Intake of Metformin by a normal person can result in low body sugar or even fainting. Kindly do not do such experiments with your body. If you want to reduce weight, then change your food habits and lifestyle. Your body is already stressed due to excess weight and now this unwanted medicine will create more problems instead of solving any. Please avoid such dangerous experiments.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
Vitamin D3 deficiency is seen in some diabetic patients. So most often it is recommended as a regular supplement. There is no effect of increasing the glucose level. What is the point you are making by saying metformin is used in most diabetic patients. Yes it is .Thanks.
