Hello, Metformin has no relation to increase of SGPT levels and TRIGLYCERIDES levels. The two most important cause for increase in SGPT are pain medications, anti cholesterol medications and herbal medications and conditions like obesity, diabetes and high triglyceride levels in blood. METFORMIN helps in reduction of blood sugar levels and weight also. The most important treatment for you along with metformin is... Regular aerobic exercises for 45 minutes a reduction of calorie and weight. Yu must take adequate IT D to counter IT D deficiency, and it can be done by regular intake of IT D supplement. Thanks
