Hey, you started the OT commentary... a bit late to get sanctimonious now, but wait, you're a pinko, so never too late for you to get all high and mighty.

You should add PBS to your list of "unbiased" channels, they'll line up nicely alongside Al-Jazeera...
Sounds like you are considered pre-diabetic. Lucky you got it caught early by your doc.Doctor started me on low dose metformin last week . Last fasting blood sugar was 118 (126> is diabetic) so we will see .
Maybe I can now utilize sugar better ....more gainz !!

My ever-accommodating doc has given me a script for 500mg of Metformin 2x per day - he actually takes Metformin himself. He said that he'd be OK with up to 1,000mg 2x per day - but I'll start at half the level.
Anyone else (non-diabetic that is) been taking this in conjunction with AAS and what have the results been?

It is one of the darlings of the anti-aging folks, that's for certain. Thing is chronically elevated blood glucose levels are implicated in so many diseases, so anything that lowers them is a sure bet to be beneficial. One behavioral adjustment that is an alternative is to eat a low carb diet (no more than 50 or 60 gm carb per day) for, um, the rest of your life.
If you take Metformin for diabetes or are supplementing with it for any other reason, you will need to monitor your B12 level, as it is a known fact that it can reduce it.

I take 2000 MGS a day of metformin. When I first started taking it I lost 30lbs in three and a half months. But for the first month it was hell all I did was shit. It was so bad I couldn't even go anywhere.

Sounds like you've been on it for a good while there - in combination with TRT, a cycle, or?
Body stats prior to getting on Metformin and currently?
After the first adjustment period, how did it feel after that?
Is this a permanent addition to your drug regimen, or more of a 6 month (or so) trial?

Actually when I first found out I was diabetic I was 250lbs and I dropped to 225 and then met my now girlfriend and Gained 20 of it back. So my Dr. gave me another diabetic med glipizide at 2.5 mg. along with 200mg of test cyp which I get one shot every two weeks for the first 2 months and then one shot a month for the next 4 months. I did this once before and my test levels dropped lower than when I started the first time. So I will continue to loose weight and once I'm ready I will start cycling myself.

Wow - crazy doc you've got there. I don't want to sidetrack this thread - but your dosage regimen is nuts. 200mg once every 14 days - and then 200mg once per month? That's criminal - find a better doc.
Go find a nutrition thread as well - I bet your diet is screwed up too.
Just trying to help!

Man... I'm going to go get my doctorate in medicine. They are just handing them out these days apparently. I really don't understand the reasoning behind that. Sounds like a "fuck it lets just try this and see what happens" type situation.

Bumping this. Anyone currently using this? Been doing some research lately and am considering it.

If you're fat, the testosterone spike WILL cause aromatization, ie create estrogen, which will bloat you and make you an emo basket case.
Small, steady doses is the way to go, twice per week injections, I'd start you on 75mg twice per week, run that for 6 weeks, then do blood work and adjust up or down until you are in the 750-1,000 range (depending on peak or trough read). This approach I think I can say that almost everyone on Meso would agree is best practice starting out.
Just saw the date - so what happened with you?

I have been looking into this also would be great just not enough studies on it yet. alot cheaper than GH tho.
I'm trying to find an article I read a few months ago about the downsides of metformin... There is an unfortunate balance with this drug.
Essentially, unless you need it, don't use it.
Yeah I have read both that it increases and inhibits protein synthesis but both studies had no value in healthy HUMAN individuals one was in burned tissue and the other in bovine

Gene therapy that increases the length of telomeres ( a measure of cell aging ) can possibly make you live up to 120. The CEO of bioviva is using her company's experimental therapy to reverse aging and she is also using follistatin to improve her muscles. She is the first person to ever do this. It's an interesting experiment that's still going on. Check it out guys. https://bioviva-science.com/blog/2017/3/2/first-gene-therapy-successful-against-human-aging
I will preface my comment by saying that I am as guilty as anyone here for putting things into my body without knowing all of the pros and cons as good as i should.
That said, the more I read threads like this, and then do follow up research on it, the more I am ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED that:
A) we are our own worst enemy with putting too much stuff in our bodies, and
B) Jack Lalanne was so far ahead of his time, and more so, SO FUCKING CORRECT when he used to say (back in the 1940's and thereafter) that if God didn't make it, don't put it in your body.
Obviously there are exceptions, but you get the point. Dude was still lifting into his 90's right before he died. Interesting fella!
