Hey guys, still on time off but planning ahead......
Next cycle will be starting over Xmas, I’m looking to introduce slin pwo for the first time. I’ve been on metformin (off label use for longevity, not prescribed) for around 9 months.
Im looking into the interaction between the two trying to work out if I should come off metformin when using slin?
I know that they do get used together in a diabetes setting sometimes so it doesn’t seem there is any adverse interaction.
On paper metformin (along with all the other good stuff) improves insulin sensitivity and this far my research is suggesting that I should be fine staying on but should get greater results from a lower dose (which is good but I’m conscious that what would be a normal dose may have great hypo risk).....
my plan as it stands is to start at 4iu pwo (obviously with 10g carb per iu) and assess how I react, planning to go no higher than 6 or 8iu for sure (I’m 220lbs).
anyone got any thoughts on this, things I can read etc?
