An interesting experiment, and I hope it goes well!

A cautionary word, though. Metformin takes time to build up in the body, and takes a while to work its way out. One week may not be long enough to metabolize it out of your system to get an accurate interpretation. Maybe a two-week test?

Just an opinion from a very non-medical professional, who's been taking metformin for over 20 years.

Vacation is over. Really, I noticed no change. Same weight after as before. Same BG. As for muscle, I can't say as that's harder to measure.

So as an experiment it was kind of a dud. As you said, it may take more than a week.
