Metformin seems to work, but for patients in active surveillance
https://www.cuimc.columbia.edu/news/diabetes-drug-prostate-cancer-columbia-study-provides-clarity maybe too late for mCRPC, but it could still be helpful

Metformin
I was diagnosed with diabetes 23 years ago. At some point I was popped on to metformin. It caused lactate acidosis so they reduced it - still felt exhausted etc.. Anyway I had to have a major operation and was taken off it. I was kept off it due to the need to be resuscitated during the operation. That

Metformin Use and the Risk of Myeloproliferative Neoplasms in a Danish Population Based Cohort
I am very curious if any MPNérs are using Metaformin and what effects they are experiencing on their MPN... See: In this study we found an inverse association between MT use and risk of MPNs indicating a potential protective effect of MT on the development of MPNs. The protective effect was most pronounced

Metformin alternatives
Hi all,Can anyone tell me what the recommend alternative drug for type2 diabetes is, other than Metformin. I'm recently diagnosed T2 diabetic and doctor wants me to take Metformin. I understand it can block b12 absorption. Many thanks

Lots of panic and doctor took me off
metformin
and put me on Jardiance and
glipizide
until I could get in to see my endocrinologist. Oct 2022 my A1C was 6.6. The highest in a long time. It usually runs about 6.1-6.4 Feb 24 had an A1C and it was 7.7.

PCOS journey advice
I’m 28 and have been TTC for baby number 2 for 6 years. I was on Metformin for 4 years and the side effects were so brutal they advised me to stop. I’ve just had my second laparoscopy to remove a very large cyst which then gave me my first period after 2 years! My BMI is 34 which I am now trying so hard
