This is very interesting; as I am on Ozempic trying to reduce sugar/glucose... and I wonder whether it has a similar effect as Metformin .. to wit: it's the reduced presence of glucose that presumably matters (it is known as fuel for PC) .. rather than which medication causes the glucose reduction. That's what I'm postulating and hope someone has thoughts on.. cheers!

Yes, in my previous post I mentioned that I wonder if semaglutides have similar effect and yesterday I did some reading - and yes - there are promising studies done. You can Google yourself. If you have any trouble finding info. please feel free to PM me and I will send you links. The effect of all of those drugs is not through lowering glucose per se. I try to repeat it over and over again, Metformin and semaglutides do not lower glucose directly but with different metabolic pathways that effect tissue and cells regardless of if somebody has diabetes or not. It is NOT through glucose lowering that those drugs effect prostate cancer.
So yes- it could be positive thing that you are on Ozempic now :).
