and everyone:

Is Glucophage/metformin one of the best or better choices in

protecting our body while killing bugs? I know that some insulin

resistance is inability to get meaningful exercise, but I am hoping

that the metformin will help to keep some of the insulin peaks

contributing to inflammation down while we are killing pathogens.

I know that there are lots of diabetes meds. My main interest is

learning which of these are best for us patients with lyme,

mycoplasma, and other chronic infections not necessarily for

diabetes.
