I understood that metformin peaks at 2 hours after taking it? - but I'm usually exercising 7/8 hours after. It hadn't occured to me about the short term effect being a factor, just thought it was a longer term thing, so I'll have a look at that. Thanks!
Yep, I've read about the "benefits" of metformin and as far as drugs go I'm quite pleased it's what's turned up as a rescuer for me, but you really don't get "owt for nowt" as they say. I've seen nothing of well rounded long term studies on metformin. It blocks the liver from normal function, so what is the pay back?
I also suspect it isn't too good for the bowel flora, which has implications.
