“Metformin and leucine can help with muscle recovery in persons with diabetes.”
Please don’t read more into this than it actually says. It is not a cure, or not close to a permanent improvement use drug for diabetes. Metformin does not modulate blood glucose or lipids but it does reduces EARLY atherosclerotic lesions. It doesn’t stop them. As time goes on, the hardening of the arteries and heart are part of the diabetic trip. It postpones the act, but eventually it is going to happen if the patient lasts long enough and heart failure becomes a player.

I dont think that is the point of this thread.
The drug might be repurposed for something not related to diabetes..which is why I was looking at taking it
That billionaire who is doing that crazy anti aging routine includes metformin in his 2000 pills he takes a day (that is an exaggeration but he does take a lot).
