[@jiromarc7873]

Thank you po, Doc. Pinainom na din po ako ng metformin. Fasting blood sugar ko po ay sobrang ganda, pero yung hba1c is above the normal range, na sabi po, there is a very high likelihood that i will also develop DM. Wala naman po akong side effects na nararamdaman. At may family history din po kami ng colon CA from the father side. Kaya napakaganda po ng lecture nyo dahil feeling ko po ay para sakin talaga ang video na ito. Mabuhay po kayo and God bless. Sana po humaba pa ang buhay nyo at maging healthy, para marami pa po kayong matulungan dahil ang daming pa din pong mga Pinoy na naniniwala sa fake news. ❤️

Thank you Dr. Sy for the concise and detailed explanation of Metformin. Salungat sa mga nalaman ko about Metformin na sisirain ang kidney when you take Metformin. Now I fully understand the use of Metformin. Thank you Dr. Sy. I will consult you as I am pre-diabetic. Our family history have Type 2 DM and my mother died with that. My aunties, cousins and other family members are having Diabetes now. I am in denial but the signs & symptoms feels and experiencing. Thank you for your expert and understandable explanation about Metformin. God Bless you!
