[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 1799327, member: 245335"] I wish I understood the process better, but I think the answer lies in something called the Kreb cycle. Basically a series of chemical reactions used to release energy. It uses carbs, protein and fat and I think the last stage of the process is the production of ATP which goes to muscles. As I say, I wish I understood it better. I really needs an "Idiots guide". Also, if Metformin is a medication one takes, it will to one degree or another effect the amount of lactic acid which builds up in the muscle. So, for example, even in people are not taking Metformin, if you decided to go for a 20 mile walk, without building up over a period of time to that distance, lactic acid will build up in the muscle and you will "stiffen up". It goes after a while, sometimes a day or two. [/QUOTE]
