Diabetes drug may slow aging

[LSLGuy]

Wow! Today I learned.

I started on the non-XR stuff & had no GI issues. Then again I’m pretty much cast iron down in there. We switched me to XR not too long after I started for reasons I do not recall. My pharmacy tells me the generic XR stuff is still nearly free. I’m amazed to learn any med plan would choke on this stuff.

Metformin is inexpensive and really effective. If it works adequately, and the person is a suitable candidate it is often my first choice. Given alternatives I am somewhat surprised plans don’t cover it if pricing is similar. But much about medical bureaucracy confuses me.
