what would you tell week-1 you about metformin

Results Receipts ×4 Cold Box ×2 Slow Clap ×3

Something I noticed reading old threads that I have not seen said out loud.

The advice on metformin in this community changed substantially around the start of last year, and nobody went back and updated the older posts. So depending on which thread the search engine hands you, you get two contradictory answers with the same confidence.

I have listed what I think the current consensus is below. Correct me — that is the point of posting it.

You have restated the marketing copy. What is the actual substance here.

Tracking number removed. It identifies both ends of a shipment.

Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with metformin, not with what you concluded.

Three years on this site and the questions have not changed at all. Which is depressing or reassuring depending on the day.

About c/t2dglp1

Type 2 diabetes as the original indication: A1c trajectories, CGM traces, hypoglycaemia risk when stacked with sulfonylureas or insulin, metformin combinations, and why the weight-loss conversation sometimes drowns out the glycaemic one.
