The key here, to me, is that it is very likely people with higher BMIs have metabolic syndrome and glucose and insulin control issues/fatty liver. These are serious comorbidities, if you aren’t already on the healthy upturn, by going lower carb, exercising, sleeping well, etc. In those situations, metformin would already effectively be pretty useless, it would seem.

The “Take Charge Of Your Health” Ping List

This high volume ping list is for health articles and studies which describe something you or your doctor, when informed, may be able to immediately implement for your benefit.

Email me to get on either the “Common/Top Issues” (20% fewer pings) or “Everything” list.

I don’t think anyone here cares what researchers have to say any longer. Of course, that’s my opinion - others may differ.

Metformin is a popular anti-aging and longevity drug. If I had a friendly doc I would try it out. This longevity Doc takes it///// And promotes it

The real results are that both hospitalization and mortality are rare. “Due to the rarity of the hospitalization (2.0% overall) or mortality (0.2%)” It is a limited study with acknowledged flaws and contradicts existing valid studies, RCT or observational.
