[QUOTE="Greg1957, post: 1632832, member: 455654"] On the advice of a great forum member, I went to Boots the chemist in order to source magnesium citrate in order to keep the food basket regular. I told him I was on a low carb high fat diet, he asked me how I was doing, I told him my blood sugars were falling, I had stopped taking gliclizide and I hoped before long to stop metformin. He shrieked NO! Never stop taking metformin! Taken aback, I asked why? He said that everyone in the world should be on metformin, and stated, Cancer loves sugar, metformin makes sugar harder for cancer to ingest, he said that people with uncontrolled sugar have an increased risk of 20% as far as contracting cancer. And even if my sugars are under control I should continue to take metformin! My question is simple, is my pharmacist correct?
