Hi, I'm relatively new here and i didn't know where this should go.
I just started bodybulding (age 28) but had to stop after getting sick last year with stomach problems (never eat Balut if you're not used to it!)
It was by chance that my doctor discovered through my labworks that I'm predisposed to diabetes type 2 and insulin resistance was showing with my high FBS but normal 1hr and 2hr blood glucose test. I'm getting 140 mg/dl average for 3 days.
So I'm now taking metformin. I know it can help with weight loss a little by making the body use up its glycogen stores.
However i read that it can also decrease androgen production. I tried searching on the net though the usual data comes up for only those with polycystic ovaries for women. I was wondering if it has an effect on men and is anyone here on metformin?
Thank you
