Metformin Could Lessen Some of the Benefits People Get from Exercise
- Metformin is a widely prescribed Type 2 diabetes drug that works by lowering liver glucose production and improve insulin sensitivity
- A 16-week Rutgers trial in 72 adults found that metformin dulled exercise benefits, reducing the usual improvements in aerobic fitness
- Long-term risks for prolonged metformin use include vitamin B12 deficiency, rare lactic acidosis, and hypoglycemia
- Skipping breakfast, not getting enough sleep, consuming too much alcohol, and social isolation can greatly disturb glucose regulation and increase the risk of developing diabetes over time
- Lifestyle strategies such as consistent movement, and a bioenergetic, nutrient-dense diet can support insulin sensitivity. Berberine may also help to slowly wean you off metformin medication
