Are you taking metformin because you're prediabetic or because you think it can extend your life expectancy (or both)?
Don't you have problems keeping warm, sleeping, and maintaining muscle mass at that level of calorie deficit?
Also wondering what your supplementations are. I take Vit D, Zinc, pre/probiotics but having an aggressive vitamin routine isn't considered ideal these days.
- giardini 9y agoI told two diabetic friends about the results showing that metformin significantly reduced cancer. They looked at each other and then one said "I've got a closet full of that stuff; I never take it!" Turns out that neither were using metformin, but picked up their prescriptions religiously. Next time we met they were both taking their metformin, although intermittently and apparently somewhat reluctantly. One of them was late for our meeting. In way of explanation he said that he had taken a metformin tablet just before driving off but, on the way, a fart proved to be untrustworthy: he had to drive back home and changed his pants. I've heard the drug termed "metfartmin" b/c of its effects on the GI tract.
