Help needed for metformin
I'm one of those who got late onset diarrhea and lots of weight loss on metformin. I seem to still have it with the XR version. I'm very distressed at the thought of giving up on it and saw a reference to taking a GLP-1 drug to counteract the diarrhea. https://www.healthline.com/health-news/why-so-many-people-with-diabetes-stop-taking-metformin

Diabetes Type 2 finally.
Have mentioned this in a reply to another post. Today my doctor has prescribed me Metformin to address my blood sugar levels. I have tried (not massively but I have tried) to address my insulin resistant body but to no avail. I am sick and tired of saying to myself, you can't have that, you shouldn't

Metformin - A Cheap Diabetes Drug Shows Potential as a Life-Extension Therapy
Myers had me on Metformin for off-label PCa purposes. Looks like it is good for all that ails you. Important to note: the medical community isn’t convinced of the drug’s anti-aging benefits — and there’s a chance no one will conduct the human research needed to help them make up their minds, leaving

Whoopppeee! Back to normal thanks to diet and you guys!
I was diagnosed prediabetic about a year ago, put on low dose of Metformin and also a moderate Keto diet, thanks largely to advice on this forum as well as my nurse. I had a blood test at six months in and had managed to improve and come one step away from prediabetic instead of becoming diatbetic. Now

Advice on adrenal/ dental issues.
I have Hashimotos, PCOS, asthma and estrogen dominance. I have had a saliva cortisol test and have very low cortisol (particularly low in morning). I had dental procedures of amalgam removal (I ingested a significant amount of the filling due to this being poorly removed) and was ill following the procedure

Confused is back again
Hi I said I would update you on my progress. However, I`m sorry to say I have not got very far. Following instructions from my GP I had my second blood test yesterday having been on Metformin for 2 months. Next instruction was to make an appointment to see him again on or within a day or two of 14th

Metformin?
Is anyone here with metastatic stage 4 hormone naive (not yet castration resistant) PCa taking Metformin, in addition to ADT (Lupron or Eligard or degarelix)? If so what are your observations regarding effectiveness? Thank-you.
