Merformin and Lantus

[Bammdk]

Hi Meso

Im doing:

1g test
600mg primo

3.3iu HGH AM
40iu Lantus AM
1g Metformin before bedtime

My hbA1c is rising. Not bad - but not good.

Is the Metformin doing anything good while om Lantus? Or is it a waste and for when off Lantus?

No it’s not a waste. But how is your cardio and diet? That’s more important than drugs.
And why lantus on a such low dose hgh? You are better off running fast acting insuline

tHow many carbs are you eating? That’s a lot of lantus. What is “not good” when it comes to hbA1c? Most people would not have an issue with 3.3iu gh even with no lantus and no metformin

Yeah that's a lot of slin for the gh dose

Also Lantus is long acting, so it's in your system for a while, which means you're going to build insulin resistance extremely fast. 1g of metformin isn't going to be enough to counteract that.

You're just going to have to keep increasing the slin more and more and more at the rate you're going--not good

Why not just use fast acting slin? Can you take a break from the insulin and lower your blood glucose through other means? Maybe low carb it for a bit, increase cardio, and continue/increase the metformin, maybe a glp-1 agonist like sema/tirz could help?

You need to tackle the elephant in the room--your mounting insulin resistance

I'm guessing your slamming a lot of carbs and/or sugar as well?
