[QUOTE="ringi, post: 1594299, member: 410240"] The Accord study showed over a large number of people that Metformin reduced the risk of heart disease etc a lot more the other drugs that reduced BG. These other drugs reduced BG much more than metformin did. It believed that this is due to Metformin making our body more responsive to insulin, hence reducing how much insulin our body makes, and the level of insulin in our blood. High insulin levels seem to do as much if not more damage then high BG levels. (Most Type2 drugs increase the level of insulin.) "Low carb" and intermittent fasting also reduce insulin level along with BG levels, hence as I don't get side effects from Metformin I am using all 3 tools...... [/QUOTE]
