The Complete Metformin Guide
Update: 2019-10-02
Description
Episode 282 brings you the COMPLETE guide on metformin! Every possible interaction, MoA, and question has been answered and summarized here on this episode! My goal for this is to truly summarize the full picture of metformin as too many people demonize it for reasons that literally are so insignificant, they should barely even be paid a notice. So with that in mind, get your notepads ready, this one is FULL of information! And yes, a few references for those of you that wish to read further!
