[QUOTE="G0ldengirl68, post: 2367113, member: 537222"] I wanted to ask about the possible results of using the Metformin, and eating what I want. I am not doing this but I did some googling this a.m. to see if I could find something factual, or others experience. Then I came here because I like hearing from folks that actually have Diabetes more than articles by "who knows who". I would love to hear others experience, thoughts, warnings, on using the drug, and going on pretty much eating what you want? I'll tell you my first thought on it and that is, I would be concerned that the drug would stop working eventually because it would be overworked at it's job. It's my understanding, what little I have at this new point of my life, that Metformin slows down the pace of the liver releasing sugar into the bloodstream. I am not quoting anything, it's something I read this morning. Well, I will put it here so you'll know what site I had pop up in my search. I'm not saying this is right, it's just an "off the wall" statement from some site: [B]It[/B] works by reducing the amount of [B]sugar[/B] your liver releases throughout the day, and [B]it[/B] increases your body's sensitivity to insulin. [B]It[/B] can also reduce the amount of glucose that is absorbed from the food [B]you eat[/B], which in turn reduces your blood [B]sugar[/B] levels after [B]eating[/B].Dec 5, 2018 diabetesstrong.com [/QUOTE]
