Metformin works in the gut and intestines. It soften things up so breakdown (enzymes) can work more efficiently. That's why stomach tissue is soften in its use. I find a huge aid even psychologically. I feel lighter and less cumbersome.Works very well at doing that.My hba1c was 5.4 and that's eating biscuits and chocolates.So maybe I will do the same on a stricter diet.
I bought some banting muffins and cookies very low carb a bit high fat so will change to that. will talk to the doctor.If I stopmetformin my stomach swells abit.I think it blocks quite a lot of carbs too.
