The yo-yo effect usually refers to a situation in which a person, after completing a diet or weight loss program, quickly regains the previously lost pounds, and sometimes even gains more weight than before starting the diet. In the case of metformin, which is a drug used to treat type 2 diabetes, m.in, the yo-yo effect may occur in the context of blood sugar control.
To avoid the yo-yo effect after stopping metformin, it is important to continue with a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and maintaining a healthy weight. Consulting with your doctor before changing your dose or stopping metformin is also important, as your doctor may adjust your treatment plan based on your individual needs. For type 2 diabetes, blood glucose control should be monitored regularly in cooperation with your doctor.
