Good drug. In July of 2015. it was discovered that I got type 2 diabetes, By the end of the July month. I was given a prescription for the Metformin, I stated with the ADA diet and followed it completely for several weeks but was unable to get my blood sugar below 140, Without results to how for my hard work. I really panicked and called my doctor. His response?? Deal with it yourself, I started to feel that something wasn’t right and do my own research, Then I found Lisa’s great blog (google " HOW I FREED MYSELF FROM THE DIABETES " ) .. I read it from cover to cover and I started with the diet and by the next morning. my blood sugar was 100, Since then. I get a fasting reading between the mid 70s and 80s, My doctor was very surprised at the results that. the next week. he took me off the Metformin drug, I lost 30 pounds in my first month and lost more than 6 inches off my waist and I’m able to work out twice a day while still having lots of energy. The truth is that we can get off the drugs and help myself by trying natural methods..

Nothing was said about the side effects and about the drug, except it can be taken anytime of the day with or without food. Diabetics, please ask your doctor questions before you start taking. It is your body and be wary of new drugs.There is no drug without side effect!!

The drug has been in use in other countries for years, so others from those countries were the guinea pigs. I hope that makes you happy

In the first place, which diabetes type was in question? Type 1 or type 2? They do have different pathophysiologies, as you know.
Type 1, an autoimmune disorder by and large, has to to with the pancreatic beta cells, and their suboptimal production of insulin.
Type 2 has more to do with the inability of cells of the body to respond to insulin -- something to do with signal transduction involving the insulin receptor.
Where does the "glucose entry into the mitonchondria" come in? (and for which type of diabetes?) In any case, it is PYRUVATE that enters the mitochondrion -- very basic biochemistry.

Where in the article did they mention that glucose enters the mitochondria?
I don't think you even understand the article or yourself

How about the side effects of this medication? I don't recall reading anything about side effects in the article. The government must be cautious about approving these medications. Most of them have dangerous side effects down the road and with Ghana being a developing country, the pharmaceutical company will get away with potential lawsuits as the legal system in Ghana is not as robust and advanced as it is in the advanced western countries.
