If you can get it prescribed to you, I say give it a shot. Some life extensionists take Metformin. I know this is not why you want to take it, but it goes to show that this drug may have some health benefits, especially for those over 40. Metformin may also help ward off certain types of cancer(I know, another drug that might help fight cancer).
If you can't get it there are other things to try that may have health benefits and help with weight loss/control.
Resveratrol-activates AMPK and may help increase insulin sensitivity like Metformin
Bilberry-also activates AMPK and may help control blood sugar
Coconut Oil-Has medium chain triglycerides(MCTs) that are beneficial for weight loss-Cocounut oil also has antibacterial properties and can improve cholesterol levels
Green Tea
