Metformin
Went to see my GP for a weight gain problem and he said I needed medication for my diabetes as my count had gone up from 5.1 to 5.3. He has prescribed 500 mg of metformin twice a day. Since starting the medication, I have had a lot of pain in my lower back, could the meds I am taking be the reason for

I just ordered NAC since reading here and elsewhere that it can cause a reduction in mucin but I am

Help with blood results
Can anyone help with these blood results and tell me which other supplements i may need. (These were taken on 1st april). Having more done tomorrow but folate and b12 won't be included. Just to add these ones were done 6 weeks after my jab as the nurse didn't actually bother doing the b12 & folate before

Desperately seeking a diet chart for my husband
Hi friends Happy Bengali new year to all. My husband 54, a teacher, while going for a routine blood sugar test was scared to find that fasting sugar level was 126 and two hours after meal it was 171. Further investigations revealed that there was fatty infiltration in liver and it was enlarged in size

Mechanism of action of metformin,most widely used anti hyperglycaemic drug.
Metformin is a hypoglycemic drug effective in the treatment of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and increasingly used in Canada and Europe. Effects on intestinal glucose absorption, insulin secretion, and hepatic glucose production are insufficient to explain its hypoglycemic action, with most

Hello - I just found this forum and am hoping to expand my knowledge of Diabetes II and alternative treatments.

Metformin help
I was diagnosed with Pcos after my first baby. I know that sounds bizarre and over a 17 year period I had 4 children. Although I've always had irregular periods, excess hair and been obese I've never been on metformin. However now in my mid 40's I'm morbidly obese and my dr has suggested I consider it

Targeting mTOR
mTOR is a protein with the rather whimsical name "mammalian target of rapamycin". Rapamycin (aka Sirolimus) is a bacteria discovered on Rapa Nui [Easter Island]. It inhibits mTOR. So the protein is named after the drug that inhibits it! mTOR is involved with cancer cell survival, proliferation & metastasis

Grass fed Goat Meat and shrimps in LCHF

Both LDL and HDL raises.....But HDL more.Ofcoz HDL goes better and better thanLDL. If we say no impact

My Intro - Ned in St Louis
I was diagnosed at age 60, in Aug 2010, with 12 positive cores out of the 12 sampled in my biopsy! I had lost my mother to colon cancer when she was age 59, and my secret goal was to at least make it past that age. The urologist called me, very concerned with those results, the DAY AFTER my 60th birthday
