Diabecon availability in Europe?
For the past year, I have been using Diabecon and Diabecon DS with great results. I was diagnosed with insulin resistance a couple of years ago (fasting blood sugar and insulin levels in range but close to upper normal range). According to my doctor, that could explain why I found it so difficult to

Metformin - Neuropathy - Vitamin B12

Will Magnesium become next Vitamin D?
Vitamin D has emerged as a nutrient with astonishing value in disease prevention. Its low cost enables virtually everyone to supplement with enough potency to obtain broad-spectrum benefits. Magnesium has similar attributes since it provides robust health effects, costs very little, and most Americans

Am I wrong?
I have had diabetes for three years. I was originally treating with diet and weight loss. Recently I have been really struggling with my love of food. I have been eating more of the foods I shouldn't be eating. I simply started using insulin to control my high blood sugar levels. I can't eat anything

cost of metformin
i read that the cost of metformin skyrocketed after a change in ownership, or some such. is that true? a change from something like $2/pill to 100 times as great.

Non-PCa Prescription Drugs: Statins
[1] Statins are arguably the easiest prescription drug to get hold of in the U.S. IMO they are heavily over-prescribed, based on a simplistic out-of-date view of cholesterol & its role in CVD. On the other hand, as someone with PCa, I'm a big fan of statins. I have mentioned before that: i) cholesterol

There are well over three thousand PubMed hits for <cancer metformin>, so I suppose there might be something to the rumor that Metformin has anti-cancer properties. LOL. Bottom line: For someone with PCa, I feel that study [6a] trumps all others. Which is why I increased my daily Metformin dose to

I SHOULD HAVE BEEN A NUN!!!!
I am very confused. I have been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes eleven months ago. Since then, I have heard a lot of conflicting advice. Lots of carbs vs. no carbs at all. Plenty of exercise vs. lots and lots of green tea ( to lose weight) & minimal exercise. Now, i just read a man was saying : no fruits

Live Longer On The Cheap
Dr. Snuffy Myers says Metformin makes PCa less aggressive over time. NAD+ supplements like Niagen are being promoted for life extension at $40 a bottle and good chance it is total BS. New research shows Metformin holds promise as a life extension drug by mimicking caloric restriction as well as preventing

Metformin and recurrent PCa
I have read Snuffy Myers videos about Metformin and the limited evidence he cites as well as others support its use for non-diabetic PCa patients. However, since the clinical evidence is not conclusive, I have had some problems in getting a prescription either from a PPP or even 2 prostate cancer oncologists
