[QUOTE="Grapple333, post: 137216, member: 15468"] So I want to take metformin for all it preventative properties. My family has a strong history of diabetes (dad, paternal grandpa, and aunt in maternal side)so that could be a matter of time. I have elevated ldl which it reduces, and run on the high side of blood pressure. I also seem to retain fat around my waste which I believe is the reason for my elevated estrogen. I’ve inquired with my doctor about metformin in the past and he dismissed it based on my a1c which was borederline pre diabetic but not quite there. He is a reasonable man as he got me going with trt when I posted levels in the 200s. Can someone help me formulate a no nonsense approach with legit studies that this is something I should try as a low dose preventative measure at 500 mg twice a day. I’d be happy to reference him the ampk benifits but don’t understand them in there entirety and don’t know how solid the studies were. Or maybe the most recent peer reviewed article from a credible source stating the reasons why my current stats make me a candidate. [/QUOTE]
