[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 1946153, member: 365308"] Maybe not so much damaged as not signalling correctly? If you were to search Alpha Lipoeic Acid you'd come up with some useful information. It is an anti oxidant reckoned to be useful for this issue in R form. Another rabbit hole to go down - sorry! I did some research because my father in law really suffers with this after 20+ years of badly treated (imo) type 2. Obviously, it is critical that you keep both blood glucose and insulin resistance low which is achieved mainly by diet . The exercise should help to reduce post meal bg spikes (post prandial walk or cycle) and increase glcogen storage capacity in your muscles (doing weights) to ensure you become more insulin sensitive or less insulin resistance. Metformin reduces bgs by inhibiting glucose production from the liver but doesn't solve the root cause of the resistance problem. Re the gym it may be worth checking with a trainer that you are taking your heart rate up enough when cycling to produce a training effect and make it true interval training. I am a trainer and thought I'd menton that because I do see members getting into a training rut where they aren't making progress with stamina or strength goals. [/QUOTE]
