[QUOTE="Maradona, post: 1685163, member: 433595"] I just found this - very interesting. from this my understanding is that Metformin helps protect the pancreas even if the 1Ac levels are the same (the pancreas has to work less hard to get the same results)? One of the many good things Metformin does is treat the resistance to insulin. As a result, the pancreas can be effective at lower levels of insulin production. Thus, Metformin not only protects pancreas from wearing out (ADA recommends Metformin be started when Prediabetic to prevent more damage to Pancreas and preventing progression to full Diabetes), but protects against everything associated with Diabetes. This was proven in the series of studies known as UKPDS done in the U.K. In the 1990s. [/QUOTE]
