If you are offered Metformin you may want to take it as it has been shown to help fight cancer cells. It might be worth a discussion with your oncologist.

Right now, I am trying to reduce my blood glucose through exercise. I bike for one hour each day at the gym and walk/jog five miles indoors at home. It seems to be helping. My A1C is dropping if I stay on the strict 20-gram carbohydrate diet. If I eat more carbs, my glucose increases and stays elevated. Ugh. I have a Precision Extra test kit and strips to check my blood glucose and ketones. I also occasionally wear a continuous glucometer.

The natural supplement Berberine is supposed to help reduce glucose, so I decided to try it. I may try Metformin in the future.

I wonder if Akkermansia muciniphila, newly available in tablet form, is involved with this as metformin is known to amplify it, and Berberine as well. See https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36835309/.
