Is there any alternative to Metformin? I´ve taking them for years already.

Im not a fan of long term berbeine for safety and on the basis of consistent results.
MOTS-c is a AMPK activator and potentially be used to replace metformin, though it’s expensive.

I tried metformin but even after a month did not feel well and decided to drop it. I wanted to try it as I wanted to understand the effects of it. It does not mix well with any alcohol consumption! I am now using the ketogenic diet and glucose levels hardly even budge over 80-90 even right after eating! I will be very curious how this impacts my 200 level triglycerides in my next bloodwork.

For diabetes? There are other oral agents, most of them with more serious possible side effects than metformin. And of course, there's always insulin.

Not sure exactly what is the composition of your particular diet, but typically, going from a Standard American Diet to a very low-carb diet (30-50 g/day) will reduce TGs dramatically. If TGs remain elevated even on a very LC diet, alcohol is often the cause.

I just went Keto base diet so will see how it impacts TG soon.
