related endpoint by a whopping 32 percent but it also reduces the risk of diabetes-related
death by 42 percent and all cause mortality by 36 percent talk about a triple treat right

price who says love cannot be bought right well in the case of Metformin it can certainly be
purchased at a bargain price it is one of the many reasons why we adore this medication not only is
it wallet friendly but it is also a lifesaver for those struggling with type 2 diabetes
and hold on to your hats folks because in some pharmacies I'm not going to give names here it's
actually free Yes you heard that right free I mean what's not to love right so let's raise a glass of
water of course gotta wash those sugar levels to metformin and the unsung hero of affordable
medicine here are three reasons though to hate metformin number one taking metformin feel like
a cruel joke guys sure it is supposed to help regulate blood sugar levels but at what cost the
real cost right the gastrointestinal side effects are enough to make even the most stalwart of
stomachs quiver in fear suddenly your intestines become a Battleground with a gas bloating and
diarrhea fighting for dominance it's like Hunger Games reenactment in your gut but fear not brave
souls you're not alone in your med firm in Misery we will grin and bear together armed with our
sense of humor and a stuck pile of emotive who knew regulating blood sugar could be so explosive
number two second reason to hate metformin metformin is like that annoying little sibling
who always wants to tag along no matter where you go you know you needed but sometimes it
can be a real pain in the butt one of the main reasons people hate it is because it has the
potential to cause a serious side effect that can be deadly called lactic acidosis especially if you
have bad kidneys to start with and most people don't even know that they have bad kidneys so
but hey if you think about it anything has the potential to go wrong if you're not careful enough
even walking down the street can be dangerous right if you're not paying attention so let's
give a metformin a break okay it's just trying to do its best to keep us healthy last but not least
the third reason to hate metformin who knew that metformin the medication you
need you know we use for Taffy diabetes all the time could be such a troublemaker right

sabotaging your vitamin levels not your body but the metformin in this case it's almost like when
your best friend tells you you are giving up sugar but then they're caught with a donut in their hand

a supplement like sugar MD diet vitamin or eating some B12 fridge Foods if you don't
hate those Foods talk about a classic case of with friends like these who needs enemies but
in this case it's more like with medications like metformin who needs a vitamin Thief well well well
