Every health professional I've ever spoken with tells me that Metformin is a "good" drug - no harmful side-effects. Unlike insulin, it doesn't take over a bodily function and get you hooked for life, either.
But there is something it does that isn't good - I just read about it yesterday. It seems that Metformin depletes both CoQ10 and Vitamin B 12. Both are vitally important to your body.
So, while the best and safest plan would be to change your dietary habits and eliminate the need for Metformin, at the very least you should be supplementing to replace lost nutrients.
Perhaps some day all doctors will recognize the importance of nutrition and the dangers that pharmaceuticals present in depleting our vital nutrients. Until then, it's up to each of us to do the research and give our bodies what they need.
Yours for good health,
Marte
