metformin

reading glycaemic control threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly, which sounds obvious until you try to state the evidence for it. Variability dropped before the…

69 weeks, 14kg, and T2D was the hard part. Posting the boring middle of the process, because the internet is full of the start and the end and nothing else. Since the…

Update, and the title has the headline: 83 weeks, 13kg, and CGM was the hard part. The numbers the title promised, since a headline without them is worthless: 83 weeks…

small win: CGM stopped being a problem at week 15, and the part I actually want to talk about is at the bottom. Time in range told me far more than the average did. Two…

The title is the whole question — what changed for me between month 11 and month 20 — but here is why I am asking. Certain conditions affect A1c independently of…

my fasting insulin moved and I cannot work out whether metformin is why. It is the sort of thing everyone half-believes and nobody writes down. Kept fingersticks…

T2D is not what most of this community thinks it is — with the reasoning, because a rule without a reason gets ignored. The diabetes and obesity programmes are…

what would you tell week-1 you about CGM. I am not trying to be the "source?" guy. I would just like a source. Panicked over a first-day sensor reading and rebuilt my…

Reporting in. hypoglycaemia: the version I wish someone had shown me in week 1. The diabetes and obesity programmes are separate, with different populations and…

Something I keep coming back to: unpopular opinion: most of what gets said here about glycaemic control is guesswork. Time in range told me far more than the average…

The title is the argument: tried metformin for 12 weeks. here is what happened. Here is the rest of it. To save the first four comments: 12 weeks. The diabetes and…

tried T2D for 15 weeks. here is what happened. Not a hot take, just something I have not seen said plainly here. 15 weeks — those are the numbers, and they are the ones…

the glycaemic control rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining. Short post, long comment section, probably. Certain conditions affect A1c independently…

Trying to get a straight answer on this: genuine question about A1c that I am slightly embarrassed to ask. Sensor accuracy varies across wear, and readings on the first…

Asking properly rather than in a comment on somebody else’s thread: am I the only one who found hypoglycaemia harder than the injections. Sensor accuracy varies across…

three years of T2D threads, summarised so you do not have to read them. I have gone back and forth on this for months. Panicked over a first-day sensor reading and…

Posting this as a discussion rather than a claim: unpopular opinion: most of what gets said here about T2D is guesswork. Sensor accuracy varies across wear, and…

Reporting in. 24 months in and metformin is still the thing I get wrong. 24 months. Those are measured, not estimated, and not rounded up in my favour. My ApoB moved…

help me understand T2D, I have read the wiki twice. I am not trying to be the "source?" guy. I would just like a source. Postprandial excursions typically respond…

unpopular opinion: most of what gets said here about CGM is guesswork. I have gone back and forth on this for months. The three numbers, and what each one can and…

Writing this once so it can be linked instead of retyped: hypoglycaemia is not what most of this community thinks it is. Assumed the weight endpoints from the obesity…

The title is the argument: the glycaemic control advice in here is 2 years out of date. Here is the rest of it. Figures up front so nobody has to dig: 2 years. On…

A1c 9.1 → 5.4, full table, 14 months. Posting the boring middle of the process, because the internet is full of the start and the end and nothing else. Figures up front…

The title is the argument: tried glycaemic control for 4 weeks. here is what happened. Here is the rest of it. Since the title puts numbers in the shop window: 4 weeks.…

is it normal to get early fullness at week 88, logged the same way every week so the comparison is at least internally fair. Postprandial excursions typically respond…
