Metformin
My HbA1c has gone from 46 to 70. My Dr. says I need to start Metformin, but I am reluctant. I hate taking meds - but I'm not stupid. so I will if I have to. Can you share your experiences of Metformin please? It actually looks like a good medication when I have a wee look around the internet.

Deguelin for PTEN-deficient PCa. & an aside on Metformin.
New study below [1]. Perhaps not an easy read - so, apologies in advance. Deguelin is a "naturally occurring insecticide" [2]. PTEN is a tumor suppressor gene that may be silenced in PCa [3]. "Highly selective killing of Pten-null cells can be achieved by deguelin, a natural insecticide. Deguelin eliminates

Re carcinosarcoma
So sorry for taking so long to thank all of you who replied to my post some time ago. I have been agonising over the decision to have debulking surgery or not. I did eventually decide not to have the surgery as the surgeon thaught I could finish up in a worst position due to previous surgery. As I am

So per my doctor it took her hours of paperwork and fighting with my insurance, BC/BC Horizon to get my CT scan. The reason was because 3 years ago I had a CT of my adrenals while testing for something else and they showed fatty liver. At the time this was barely mentioned to me it was more ur less just

Looks Like Metformin - Resveratrol - Ursolic Acid - Curcumin Is The Best Combo to take With Xtandi or Zytiga
May prevent resistance from developing to X or Z. Ursolic acid is poorly absorbed and can be dangerous. I found a standarized 10x Apple Peel Extract from Maple Life Sciences called Green Apple 10:1 on eBay...ships from India but only took about 10 days to receive. Gus https://www.nature.com/articles/

Metformin and warfarin
I have APS and take warfarin to keep my INR between 3-4. I have recently been diagnosed as Type 2 diabetic and put on Metformin. Since being on Metformin my INR has dropped to 1.8 last week and 2.2 this week. Has anyone else had problems taking these two drugs together.

PCOS – my first treatment
About 10 days ago I went to see a specialist gynaecologist who wanted me to go for a TVS scan and run more bloods for prolactin, sex hormone binding globulin, testosterone and finally androstenedione (check out my post “Seeing my gynaecologist for the first time!” here). After seeing my consultant yesterday
