Drug repositioning - metformin
Hi Ladies I’ve read lots of research around metformin and the possibility that it could help with breast cancer. I currently have progression in the liver and palbociclib has been stopped and I’ve been left on letrozole for the timebeing. My husband is a type II diabetic and we have loads of metformin

Blood sugar all over the place
It's been 20days after my 5x bypass. My blood sugar level was not well controlled at all. I'm on metformin 500g x twice daily. BMI 21, I am a type 2 Does cabg affect blood sugar? I'm on iron pills and its making me constipated too. Does anyone have the same experience? I'm also watchful of my food.

The diabetes drug metformin lowers blood sugar, an outcome that may independently lower the risk of dying from COVID-19 in this group. Yet some experts speculate that the drug may have other properties that reduce the severity of the respiratory illness. Even though people with diabetes are at an

Metformin & Curcumin
Metformin & Curcumin I read somewhere that you should not take metformin & curcumin together but do not remember where I read that. Does anyone have any thoughts on this as I take 1500mg metformin/day and also add turmic to my green drink every day. I also take a supplement that has curcumin in it.

Metformin just private?
I have PCOS and for my new round of IVF I was asked to take Metformin to reduce the risk of overstimulation. My fertility clinic sent a letter to my GP to put me on Metformin and get the bloodwork for it done beforehand. Now my GP said they will just do the (necessary) blood work if I pay for it privately

Dosing for Metformin for prostate cancer
I am sort of new to this site and have a question about dosing for Metformin for mestastatic prostate cancer. I am on Lupron now and am taking 50 mg of Metformin two times per day. I was given a Rx for it by my naturopath as my oncologist would not prescribe it. I am wondering if I should be taking

Hello fellow riders Thought I will update you on my status which might give some hope to newcomers and share data with others in similar positions. First a recap: Diagnosed April 2018 PSA 23 Gleason 9 , cancer escaped the capsule so no surgery for me. PET/CT PSMA found no distant/bone mets but several

Metformin for weight
Has anyone been given the drug Metformin to help the Cushing syndrome when on steroids? I know that at the moment it is trivial when life is as it is but I am bi polar and the weight gain is having a massive psychological effect on me. I exercise, walking and cycling as much as I can and I have consulted

Latest PSA whilst on Abiraterone
So, only a drop to 4.1 this month with T under 3. Previous months : 4.2, 6. 6, 12.9 Been on Abiraterone since January 2020. Also on Lupron, Metformin, and Lipitor. I'm a bit concerned that I'm already at a plateau with Abiraterone. I believe that I read on HU that chemos now may get the action of Abiraterone
