Cancer stem cell treatment with metformin, a type 2 diabetes drug, might yield some interesting insights in basic cell biology, not to mention treating cancer.

Thanks - I switched from metformin to insulin b/c of side effects, but in light of this, they weren’t so bad, really.

My blood glucose is out of control most days (>200 until the afternoon), I’m on Actos, and am wondering what the doc will prescribe at my next visit this Friday.

I will ask about Met since the side effects don’t seem all that serious.

This is a great article!

My sister takes Glucophage but not until after she had a recurrence of her breast cancer.

I don't know if anyone else has had the experience of being hit pretty hard with chemo and radiation that you were left with a whole host of other medical problems? My sister ended up with diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis after her last treatments.
