Anyone on metformin?
Thank you to those who have been posting research on metformin- very interesting reading!
Has anyone discussed the use of metformin with their oncologists?? I realise research is still being completed to prove its effectiveness in treatment of cancer. However, I understand it is cost effective. Would some oncologists be open to their patients using it-if that is possible??
Otherwise, I suppose getting a glucose test may be an idea. I am thinking about asking my oncologist if it possible to go on metformin?? Has anyone done this without having type II diabetes??
