Does anyone feel they are experiencing the anti-aging effects of metformin.And in what way.
I also wonder if it's a stupid question?

A good question. I had read that also, but always wondered how to measure it. I recently consulted a very nice doctor about possible sleep apnea and she said that I didn't look anything like 64. LOL Does that count?

You omit to tell us how old she thought you were, or whether she thought you were younger or ... (you know where I'm going)
I'm guessing you stayed with not knowing ; )

I wouldn't have called her a very nice doctor if she had said older. She actually said and I quote "You don't look a day over 45". I don't know how I got my big fat head out the door. I was smiling for hours, possibly inanely, but who cares, it was a compliment.
