[Diabetes-talk] A Metformin Question

Wed Mar 9 23:16:08 UTC 2011

These drug companies want our money.  Instead of focusing on more cures,
they keep us alive-- just alive-- so we keep paying for drugs!  LOL

um if you listen to all the commercials on tv they cause a lot of issues
as well.

The problem is that it causes Cancer in Mice and Rats and it hasn't yet
been proved that is causes other issues in humans.

So I would worry more about you keeping your sugars down and the diet
level, the stress alone will give you problems of worrying about it.

I am on transplant drugs for my kidney transplant, and every year I have
to get check for Cancer, I know the risks involved, but guess what I am
not on dialysis and haven't been in 6 years and I am alive.

The biggest compliment you can pay me is to recommend my services!

  Hi I have been on Metformin for 8 years.  I have read now and then
that 
  Metformin over time damages the liver and can cause some memory
problems. 
  But I have noticed none of those in myself, and annual physical
evaluations, 
  plus diabetes evaluations every four months have shown nothing
negative 
  except for my troubles keeping calory intake evenly distributed.
KnowKnock 
  on wood!

  However, research on meds is ongoing, so I will keep watching out for 
  official indications of medication interactions. - Bill Lewis
