    Why will anyone want to live longer….. my mother is going to be 83 in a couple weeks and she is always hurting and telling me about it . I want to go before my kids get tired of me . 💕
  • i have been taking metformin for over 20 years for diabetic i started in my 50th and today people don't give me more then 55 to 60 and my real age is 74 so i think something must be working and i am grateful for that
  • @alitlweird
    I started taking the metformin six years ago when I was 42 years old... I am now 36 years old. The stuff works great! 💪

    I was diagnosed T2D in August 2021. I was 46, my glucose was 210, my A1C was 8.4, and I weighed 240 lbs. Metformin, along with a healthy diet and exercise, has helped me to drop my A1C down to 5.2, my fasting glucose usually sits in the upper 80s to low 90s, and my weight has dropped down to 198. I cannot begin to state how much better I feel. But at 48, I look and feel better than I did at 28.
  • My testimony regarding Metformin, I was prescribed with this drug in 1995 or 1996 and been taking it ever since. Now I am almost 78 years old and I still feel very healthy, doing some walking everyday for a mile or two.

    This is an update regarding my Type 2 Diabetes. I went to have my bloods checked about a week back. I went to see the Diabetic technician last Tuesday. This is what happened and I will explain why. She asked what I thought my results were like ?. I said I had no idea ( how could I when she had all the info on the computer which I could not see ). Your results are excellent. I have changed my diet as follows. Eating scrambled egg for breakfast with my tablets, plus drinking half a bottle of pure orange juice, 25 mls of Aloe Vera and a coffee with coffee mate and 3 sweetners and drinking bottled water. At about 10 am I have several cooked chicken slices with a baby bell and a mature cheddar both are about 20 gram portions. I have the same at about 2 or 3 pm. I have the same at 4.30 to 5 pm. I have 2 baby bell cheeses at about 9 pm. I have cut out all the salads. I walk about 2 to 3 miles per day. I have lost 14 pounds in weight and I have lost 3 to 4 inches from my waste. I allow myself about half a bar of Bourneville dark chocolate each day. I should also add I am 1 mmol from going into remission. I am now borderline Type 2 Diabetic and have started to take a multi vitamin and multi mineral she suggested I should take. If I can do this at age 69 years old anyone can do it. Cut out ALL alcohol as well. I hope this helps anyone else trying to lose weight. I have. PC. 06. 07. 2022. PS. Any questions ?.
  • I started metformin for insulin resistance, I can say this, my mental health has improved drastically, it definitely does something over all I also am more thirsty and I feel warmer in the body. I just started so Im hoping it does help with my weight which I think it will. Im thinking the higher body temp is burning fat.

    My wife had stage III cervical cancer she had surgery and radiation on. It went into remission. Then years later she had breast cancer which she had surgery on to remove. After hearing metformin might prevent cancer I gave her small amounts of my metformin which she is still taking present day. She has been cancer free for over 11 years now. For people that are afraid to take metformin there is goat's rue of which metformin is derived from and is probably about the same.

    My Metformin adventure started 8 weeks ago. My weight has dropped from 210lbs to 190lbs from Sept/22 to Nov/22. I'm not pre-diabetic, so I'm taking it off-label. Motivated after studying Dr. David Sinclair, (my son said we should be guinea pigs and do this experiment} taking Berberine, Resveratrol, NMN and practice regular intermittent fasting. He is doing it for longevity to live to 150 years. I am doing it NOT to extend my life but to reverse my biological age so that I have the cardiovascular performance, physiology and hormones of a 20 year old cyclist, yogi at the age of 100 years. I take Metformin rather than Berberine as Metformin is David Sinclair's first choice. My target weight is to lose another 30lbs to get down to my college weight of 160 pounds over the next 3 months. I regularly fast and eat OMAD (one meal a day) and am active every day either cycling or yoga.
  • My mum is 85 and has been taking 500mg Metformin daily for type 2 diabetes for decades. She is fit active and doesn't have any age related illnesses.

No need to look any further, you summed up everything there is to it. Thank you so much for your efforts! As already said by many here: you look much younger than your age!

    Thank you Lance for uploading this video. I found it very interesting to watch. I have changed my diet to eating boiled eggs in the morning and eating chicken salad sandwiches. Without any problem at all. I have been Type 2 Diabetic now since January 2016. I was eating all the wrong foods for many years. Now I am on the right diet. People think I am 45 to 48 years old but in fact I am over 69. PC. 07. 10 . 2021.
  • Huh...... I started on metformin for PCOS when I was 24. I'll be 42 soon and I have yet to have noticeable wrinkles and no grey hair. This was interesting to watch!
