They inhibit the normal release by the liver of its glucose stores, they interfere with intestinal absorption of glucose from ingested carbohydrates, and they are said to increase peripheral uptake of glucose. This is Metformin I think. I have been thinking that this was a preferable way to normalise blood sugar? No? If my liver is realeasing TOO MUCH glucose, which I suspect it is, then surely inhibiting some of that release is not a bad thing? Ditto intestinal absorption and increasing uptake to where it is needed in the muscles etc. Mo NOVA Counselling & Healing Services Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sh ealso said this isn;t a bad thing as once on insulin it is controlled better thus you feel better. I seem ti be staying over 300 every AM... It was 304 this morning . I wonder if it is a temporary patch once duabetes has been diagnosed or if that is still the case in a pre-diabetic state which is where I think I am? Can you ask? Or did you read about it?

I think (sorry I am not Linn!) Metformin falls into the above bracket. Mo NOVA Counselling & Healing Services Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was low in Vit D & B12 in June. Coincidence? B12 is definitely in line for the possibility of being a problem area with Metformin for sure, not sure about the one you mentioned. I have been trying to find an email address for the manufacturers to put to them the question about absorption and to ask them for proof that others nutrients are properly absorbed. I cannot find one. Mo NOVA Counselling & Healing Services Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
