[QUOTE="tpaz, post: 1185225, member: 212123"] There's too many unknowns about how Metformin works exactly to make a blanket statement like that. I've been reading a lot of research that it doesn't actually help IR, but more controls the dumping effects of the liver, which is thought to be increased in T2 diabetics. So there's a lot of different view points on it. I've been on Metformin for a year now, and I thought it was due to insulin resistance. I finally asked at my last appt why I was on it, and I come to find out that my endo puts a lot of her LADA patients on it, because she feels whatver insulin we (honeymooners) are producing our bodies become just that much more sensitive to it. 'Making the most' of whatver is left. [/QUOTE]
