[QUOTE="RoneTone, post: 143254, member: 2887"] Yes, Met absolutely controls the level to which glucose rises if I take 500mg with a meal. I have a meter and can verify. Even at 500mg a day my blood sugar as far as I can tell doesn't go above 115 or so post meal and often not above 100. I've eaten meals with met and an hour later my BS is still at 90. It's a night and day difference. I'm probably not 'most adult males' and don't need the typical high dosage. I'm very lean, athletic, and have been working out, playing sports, etc., my entire life. I also eat a very good diet these days. I've found the ER version of met is too strong and gives me fatigue/muscle soreness. I like low doses of the immediate release after trying different combos over the last few months. I usually take 500mg with the last meal of the day and sometimes 125mg to 250mg with the first. For other effects I see are - loss of belly fat, less bloating, much better erections (I'm guessing this is Met's effect on the endothelial function. Met has helped more in this area than any other drugs, including TRT.) less anxiety, and I feel more calm. I had some fatty liver that came up on an ultrasound (yet normal liver enzymes) and always had somewhat high blood sugars post meals (probably years of eating poorly as a kid - like SAD bad - fried my liver). I'm also someone that could be considered norepinephrine dominate (wired, erections would come up fast but easily fade, some anxiety) and met seems to help in this area. norepinephrine blocking drugs worked but the side effects are awful. Met seems to address the core issues. [/QUOTE]
