[QUOTE="JayAmerican, post: 2482595, member: 516798"] Same here. I have yet to try it. I don't even know how it works, I guess it's supposed to somehow increase insulin-sensitivity and liver dumps but the way I'm thinking is: If you're having liver dumps in the first place or have a bad diet, a drug will just hide bad habits and 2-3 years later your dosage is upped as you get fatter. Then upped again 2-3 years later. Then you have to shoot up with insulin. Then your body starts depending on all this external stuff to keep you from dangerous blood sugar levels. I would only go on metformin once my diet is fully under control, reversed a fatty liver, I am consistently below pre-diabetic A1C levels, and want to occasionally eat "healthy" stuff more often that tend to spike like apples, apricots, mangos and not eat so much meats and dairy which carry their own risks (high cholesterol, heart health, cancer risks).
