> I take Metformin (Glucophage) for insulin resistance. It does work. My test was the oral glucose tolerance test, which takes a couple of hours--they keep drawing blood at intervals before and after I drank this awful syrup. I should be exercising more to really make the best use of the medicine, but have been quite the slug lately.... Be aware, though, that metformin has a life-threatening adverse effect and you need to have your kidney and liver functions tested and monitored to make sure you aren't at risk.
Noa,
Wow - thanks for this info - sjb
