Message: <blockquote data-quote="DCUKMod" data-source="post: 2296014" data-attributes="member: 345386">Libby - From all I have read, Metformin just seems to oil the wheels of our metabolism, a little - just helping it be a bit more effectively and efficiently.Of course, there are known mechanisms, but I just like to keep these things simple where I can.  I can't say I put the drug into the miracle category, but like any other medication, where it works for an individual, it can be miraculous for them.In my observation, the provision of Metformin, alongside injected/pumped insulin is becoming more commonplace, for those with some degree of insulin resistance and/or to aid weight loss where that could be an advantage.I don't use metformin or insulin, but were I starting metformin, I think I'd want to start on a gentle dose, to minimise the potential for an upset tum.</blockquote>
