“The article isn’t about curing diabetes with metformin’
The article is about a diabetic used drug doing the same thing with certain conditions it does with diabetes. The title of the article is Common Diabetes Drug Can Also Prevent Muscle Atrophy and Muscular Fibrosis. It was never designed to do that and, as I stated, it doesn’t prevent anything in that direction as it doesn’t prevent heart disease or artery hardening even though that is what the drug is used for with diabetes, the expansion of blood flow through healing arteries and heart tissue.

My effort is to indicate a drug being repurposed to do something in another way when it doesn’t prevent the original reason it was made is not productive. They’re trying to reinvent the wheel with square stones. And in this case they don’t fit the rims.
