Metformin has been linked to dementia ... I lost my mom to dementia last year ... saw the misery she went thru ...I’m not going out that way
Sorry about your mom.
My mother has been on metformin for around four or five years. I have noticed some cognitive decline and my sister, who rarely speaks to her, has even remarked to me about my mother’s memory.
She’s still functional, but is gradually becoming more forgetful. And, at certain times, she angers very easily and blames me for something that she has done. Nothing is ever her fault.
I was curious if your mom’s symptoms started out that way. Between the dementia and this newly discovered cancer link, maybe metformin isn’t the answer.
My mother had colon cancer surgery in ‘91 and cancer is rampant in my family.
Best of luck to you.
It has also been shown to increase lifespans.
