A breakthrough-like effect of metformin reduces peripheral resistance to triiodothyronine in euthyroid, non-insulin-resistant, T2 diabetes
My main aim here is to identify to anyone interested that metformin appears to have an impact of T3 levels. Whether the hypotheses of the paper make any sense of that observation is, I fear, rather more questionable. (Though I accept is was very much acknowledged to be a pilot study.) [i]

Hello, ive never had pain in the nipple prior to having my period. Its been 3-4 days that I have been feeling pain in my nipples. Have to sleep with my stomach up. The pain feels like its stretching, and the nipples get really hard and very pinful.. any tips? Does this usually happen while taking metformin

Last couple of months, strong smell of nicotine, some coughing, but even that familiar 'taste' in my mouth?
I gave up smoking about thirty years ago, I only smoked for about eight years, but after giving up my weight went up about five stone, from 12 and a half to 17 and a half stone, which I have never really lost. March last year, diabetes 2 metformin 1000mg! The last three months, all I taste is nicotine

Metformin for Parkinson’s?
A while ago a doctor offered to prescribe metformin for me for PD. I have just started researching this as a possible alternative to other diabetes drugs. Are any of you taking it for PD off label or for Diabetes? Thank you

Apparently extending over to the right side of my abdomen and well below my navel on the left side. This was on

Query on thyroxine and metformin
Hi all, I’m diagnosed hypothyroid with TSH 3.65, normal free T3 but low free T4. I’m on 100mg of thyroxine but I feel that I have been gaining weight despite initially losing some when I started thyroxine. Also, I have insulin resistance and might need to start on metformin. Any advice?
