[QUOTE="ringi, post: 1503173, member: 410240"] [B]Every GP and nurse should be reading this article along with everyone with T2.[/B] A lot of the health issues come from insulin resistance not high BG. Most drugs improve the BG while making the insulin resistance worse. And this is why I intend to keep taking Metformin even when my blood tests start to show me as “normal”…… (I don’t get the side effects from Metformin unlike some people.) I expect that within a few years [B]SGLT2 inhibitors[/B] (Farxiga) will be added to Metformin as being the only drugs that are proven to reduce long term risk of stokes and heart attacks (for people with T2) while also helping to control BG. The first drugs company to truly understand how Metformin works and produce a drug that works in the same way without the side effects may get very rich. [/QUOTE]
