It is unknown whether weight loss outcomes differ with metformin monotherapy in patients with obesity with or without type 2 diabetes (T2DM)/prediabetes (PreDM). In this retrospective study, 6- or 12-month weight loss outcomes were compared in 222 patients with or without T2DM/preDM who completed metformin monotherapy. Average weight loss was similar between groups, euglycemic vs. T2DM/preDM (6 months: 6.5 [6.0%] vs. 6.5 [6.1%] p = 0.97; 12 months: 7.4 [6.2%] vs. 7.3 [7.7%], p = 0.92). Categorical weight losses (≥5% and ≥10% of baseline weight) were also similar. Comparable clinically significant weight loss was achieved with metformin monotherapy in patients with obesity with or without T2DM/PreDM.
