[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 143395, member: 18023"] It's more logistics than cost. You do need a prescription to order Metformin, I already have 3 months supply, I would need to get a doctor to order it, which maybe time consuming or more expensive, insurance wouldn't pay since I already have it, and I don't know if it is something I really want. If I get a prescription for IR it will be for 3 months, it's not like I can get 20 pills just to experiment. I could find somewhere to order it without a prescription, that has it's own set of negatives. Low carb works best to lower BG, with or without Metformin. That said, everything I read says different about what metformin does. Maybe we disagree about "block" Vs "delay"? Metformin: It increases the sensitivity of muscle cells to insulin. [B]Secondly, it reduces the amount of sugar produced by cells in the liver.[/B] [B]It delays the absorption of sugar from the intestines into the bloodstream after eating so that there is less of a spike in blood sugar levels after meals. [/B] I just want to delay the absorption of sugar to mitigate the spike in blood sugar levels after a big meal and reduce sugar produced in the liver. It's mainly an experiment by me, it seemed to work on 1 meal, but let's see how it works more than just once. Maybe I will have a pizza for lunch, that is sure to cause a spike if I am not taking metformin. [/QUOTE]
