[QUOTE="graj0, post: 932747"] I can see Apple tree was only quoting this so my comments refer to the original writer. I've seen this mentioned several times, is it personal opinion or is there some empirical evidence to back it up? My pancreas produces adequate amounts of insulin (I paid for my own c-pep test) so my major problem is insulin resistance. What worries me about these sorts of statements is that if you say them often enough and in a convincing enough manner everyone starts to believe it. Trawling through the immense number of articles on metformin I haven't come across anything that say it only has a small effect. Although some mention that it also helps lower total cholesterol and trig levels. [/QUOTE]
