Giving Type II patients insulin, Glucophage, Tolinase, etc. is the gasoline added to the fire.

I understand why insulin and tolinase(stimulates the pancreas to secrete insulin) would be bad. But how does glucophage contribute to the problem? I thought glucophage was supposed to reduce insulin resistance.

You are correct. I made that post very late in evening and didn’t notice the incorrect reference to Glucophage. I meant to say Tolinase, Orinase, etc., and should not have included metformin (Glucophage), which does not cause hyperinsulinemia according to its manufacturer. It works by improving uptake into the cells, i.e. it reduces insulin resistance.
