[QUOTE="ringi, post: 1517841, member: 410240"] I take Metformin as a "given" for IR and assume that everyone who can will take it. I would [B]love [/B]science to come up with other options for IR, but none seem to be in the pipeline. Remember that for a long time the USA banned Metformin partly due to a claimed increase risk of DKA! FDA warnings are often based on a single case and should be considered by UK consultants, but may be too much information to expect UK GP to consider, however FKA warning are made use of by NICE. Whenever a doctor tells me that everyone should take Satins, I remind them about Thalidomide and the [B]dangers of mass medications of the population[/B]. These days Thalidomide is used on a very limited bases including for some cancers and I expect that GPs are not allowed to prescribe it, but it is life saving for a few people. [/QUOTE]
