[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1075185, member: 41816"] Something else I got out of that metformin vid is the lack of research. There is only 1 large scale trial that shows metformin offers significant benefits. 700 ppl I think. He keeps saying what a good study it is, but the findings have never been replicated! Other smaller studies failed to show the same and tend to be dismissed. Yet, all over the world metformin is seen as the first, best, most reliable... And is prescribed to millions every day. It also appears that many doctors have misunderstandings about how the drug works, believe it should never be prescribed to patients with reduced kidney function (it is not as simplistic as that), and that other D drugs are... um... how can i put this...? A lot less useful than advertised. It has strongly reinforced my enthusiasm to manage without pills for as long as humanly possible! [/QUOTE]
