I hated it.
Are you using this for glucose disposal, or for some other reason?
There is actually no such thing as oral insulin. Not unless they managed to fix the digestion issue.
I've never read about it blocking fat absorption. Got a link on that?
As for the rest of that post, it's a little ill-informed.
Not one of these studies says ANYTHING about blocking fat absorption.
Acute antihyperglycemic mechanisms of metformin in... [Diabetes. 1994] - PubMed result
Metformin suppressed free fatty acids (FFAs) by approximately 17% (from 0.42 +/- 0.04 to 0.35 +/- 0.04 mM) and lipid oxidation by approximately 25% (from 4.5 +/- 0.4 to 3.4 +/- 0.4 mumol.kg-1.min-1) and increased glucose oxidation by approximately 16% (from 16.2 +/- 1.4 to 19.3 +/- 1.3 mumol.kg-1.min-1) compared with placebo
I understand exactly what that statement is describing.
I would like for you to explain to me what you think it says about fat absorption, because I assure you, what you quoted has nothing whatsoever to do with fat absorption.
Horrible drug, and utterly unnecessary. Diet alone can reverse type II diabetes, and there are far better ways to improve glucose disposal. We're still not entirely sure how metformin works.
