Sir Good Evening, I am a chronic diabetic 71 yrs old and on Insulin since 1990. I am under Active treatment of Dr D K Jhamb Cardiologist. Please can you please how maximum units be taken per day. I take around 90 units a day and at times even it appear to fall short. Regards S K Aggarwal
@@robertstancliffsr9575 True, however in order for those with Type 2 DM to reverse their A1C back to normal, Sugarless and Low Carb diet along with Exercises are the key, not the Metformin. One can be on Metformin for years or decade yet their A1C is still out of normal range.
The problem is people know what they have to do to reverse their diabetes, but they want to have their cake and eat it too I have tried to help my own family but they just don't want to give up, so you ha e to leave them until they become sick. People don't care what the drs say.
Metformin is the best drug for treating type 2 diabetes. Some people are unnecessarily creating confusion. And UTube is not the place for medical discussion.

Hopefully the health care professionals will maintain not only professional skills but especially empathy and compassion …May Buddha bless all compassionate souls..
Thank you Doctor for a very informative input. I am now a regular user of this drug Metformin 1000, at one time I was using Glucophage900 and Glucophage XR, which gave me diarrhea, I was then put on Foxziga which also gave me diarrhea. Now I am on Metformin 1000 which is fine, but there's a problem that is very embarrassing, which is flatus that causes a nasty smell, can anything be taken for this problem? Can you further explain why is it the doctors prescribe insulin and Diaglocide to be used together with this drug, the doctors don't give a clear explanation as you do?
If you want to lower your blood glucose, blood pressure, and cholesterol by eating the right foods, please watch Dr. Sten Ekberg, Dr. Jason Fung, and Dr. Berg.
I'm on Metformin and as of late but I'm not diabetic. I'm pre-diabetic after a couple of A1C blood test of 6.7 and 6.9. So my doctor prescribe 500MG of Metformin to me to prevent becoming Diabetic. So many people today don't get a check up once a year. I feel it is essential for people 50 and over to get a check up once a year. Thanks for the great video.
Very good advise doctor. I used to inject insulin morning and night and had xigduo XR but since one year I have stopped everything through my intermittent fasting and 32/34 hours fasting twice a month. 15000 steps walking daily. Now I take only 500mg at night. My HbA1C for the past one year range from 5.6 to 5.9 only.
@@ma59135 it doesnt. one 500mg would hardly be anything unless he has kidney issues since before, and I believe if he is checking HBA1C he must also be doing rft/kft tests anyways. A sonography of abdomen is essential for any diabetic for checking health of organs.
Thank you Doctor for your explanation. I really had mixed opinions regarding this medicine. Now I got clarity and confidence to use Metformin as a diabetic drug.
Thank you all for recommending dr gboya UA-cam this man specialized in curing people's sickness and diseases . Thank you doctor for putting an end to my erectile dysfunction permanently doc , .............. I really appreciate
The discussion should be why are we only treating the symptoms instead of curing the disease? T2D is carbohydrate intolerance and therefore is directly related to the diet\what you eat. Stop eating the carbs and then there would be no need for the medications.
Metformin causes lactic acidosis and deficiency in Vitamin B12 and causes the body to suffer. Metformin causes you to lose weight and look aged. Your friends will notice the change in look and physique and question whether you are diabetic. I am very grateful to a female pharmacist who whispered to me that if I exercised and stayed away from sugar, I can throw the 3 month supply of metformin that I was holding in my hand into the dustbin and I did exactly that on 10 July 2010. I have been a diabetic for 26 yrs now and exercise daily. I stay away from the sugars sucrose and fructose. You can live without fruits and vegetables. The only vegetable that I consume is the herb celery which gets rid of heavy metals in the body. The fructose in fruits affect your mitochondria and causes inflammation in the body. I am virile and healthy at age 76 yrs. A diabetic must consume soaked fenugreek seeds (one tablespoon for 24 hrs) to be virile and healthy. Please do not touch any diabetic medicine. Exercise and avoiding sugar, MSG. caffeine, A1 cows milk, vegetable and seed oils is the key. Gluten free A2 cows milk and goats milk can be consumed.
Great to have you on YT Dr saab...being a small time GP i am using metformin as low as 250 mg daily for catabolic state of Diabetes or metformin intolerance.. with or without insulin with not bad results..Don't know whether doing it rightly
Can't stress enough read food labels. In NY USA we have added sugar in canned and frozen vegetables. Roasted chickens on all our supermarkets have added sugar. All American cold cut meats and sausages have added sugar. I pay $$ for cold cuts from Italy that do not have added sugar and actually taste better.
DR SANJAY THANK YOU for your 9minutes:30 seconds advise. Why are you emphasizing on medicine???? Is this the only life saving way.??? All knowledgeable individuals are aware as very high proportions of doctors are beholden to the drug industry and that many are being paid generous sums for advising companies or giving talks on their behalf. The pharmaceutical companies then cherry pick the results to suit their marketing needs, instead of what’s in the best interest of patients. Its Deadly Medicines and Organized Crime. Its sad,Thank you.
My question: I was prescribed Metformin for pre-diabetes years ago, but since have lost weight and my A1C tests are positive. My doctor said to continue taking it but never gave me a clear explanation why. Wondering what the benefits are to continue?
Because of a bit of high sugar levels in my blood test,I was prescribed Metformin.the doctor said that I was not diabetic,just sugar levels a little high.Within a few days I broke out in a severe and horrible rash.It was a nightmare,in fact it was hell.After repeat hospital appointments at dermatology,it was barely under control.The culprit was Metformin.A severe side effect. That was years ago,but my skin has given me problems ever since. Okay,it’s about 1 in several thousand people,but it’s proven. BE WARNED!
I reduced my Blood sugar level from 173mg (F) to 104mg (F) within 1 and half months by reducing weight (from 85 to 78 kg), regularly walking 45 mts and taking a Ayurvedic Medicine BGR-34, 2 BD. This medicine is a carbohydrate metaboliser just like Metformin. I plan to gradually reduce dose and ultimately stop it completely.
Quire informative/in depth knowledge provider ! Sir, nowadays each & every person should understand the effectiveness of the medicine is consumed and not necessarily he/she be a doc or a layman! Today's world is not a blind walker but wants to know & educate others! From the depth of my heart I personally grateful/regards !
Incidentally, metformin compound gets extracted from a herb commonly known as Goat's Rue, and the same is used in homeopathic medicine (Galega officinalis) too. Perhaps, taking a few drops in water might be a safer option vis-a-vis the tablet's side-effects.
My heart just keeps thanking you and thanking you Dr Igudia for all you have done for me, you gave me your words that you could heal any sickness or disease, thank you for permanently curing me of my Type 2 Diabetes you are amazing

Thanks Dr. Karla for the discussion. But in the present state of type2 diabetes treatment, Metformin is an essential drug in general practice. Addition of recently discovered drugs only add to it's effectiveness by their different mode of actions.
I am a long user Diarrhoea etc happens when your food sugar levels go up despite using medicine. Avoid wines sharbats and too syrupy juicy fruits esp mangoes
For vast majority of poor and middle class people the main staple food consist of carb, hence cannot be avoided. Metformin is far less harmless than other substitutes and is also affordable to many.
Doctors should strictly prescribe lifestyle changes-not drugs, at least initially, before patients start these drugs. Diabetes is a reversible disease if detected early enough.
At 3:23 min, it was mentioned that it is save for the kidney. However, my doctor took off my Janumet, which is combination of januvia and metformin when my creatinine level was high and replace it with januvia. Bow, I am on insulin and diamicron for my diabetes. So my question is does the safety still hold for the kidney.
As a formerly muscular, now thin and fit type 2, metformin never did much for my diabetic health. I suffered just using metformin for more than 5 years, with my symptoms only getting worse while my A1C stayed around 6.0 as long as I starved myself to death. Dropped from 200 down to a scary looking 160 (6 foot tall). No doctor I spoke with would allow me to start insulin because according to them, my A1C was within range. When the depression finally became unbearable and I was considering extreme measures, I discovered that certain insulins don't require a prescription. I immediately started myself on NPH, one shot per day at night, and WOW, what a difference. My A1C has dropped, my muscles have start to come back, and I feel so much better. I've stopped metformin because there's no need to use it anymore, and I'll happily stay on insulin because it has made me feel so much better.
Yes that sounds good...Metformin "Fog" ..metformin can take away all your enthusiasm for life and make you a little dopey...that is what i have found....there is a lot of information on metformin fog...
I have chronic Pancreatitis and diabetes. The doctor ran an insulin adequacy test (forgot the actual name) and found the diabetes is type 2 and prescribed Synjardy (a combo drug) but the side effects were severe. So, she put me on regular metformin and my sugar levels are down along with diet changes. I do find the levels dropping below Zero but mostly stay in the 80s region at night but it seems metformin is working. My continuous glucose monitor is always showing lower number than my blood glucose monitor. For example, when it snows me 80 the blood glucose reading shows above 100. So weird. When I see lower number on CGM should I immediately act on it by taking quick acting carbs?
insulin adequacy test can be found out through C peptide test, Did it for myself and turned out my Body is producing with help of another drug to a good amount. did this test on my own, whereas a Senior Dibetologist said, Your body barely makes any insulin.

sir..i am 70 years aged,enjoying life,working,i am having fasting sugar around 130 with DaynagliptM..PPS is around 160..do you recomend anything? or is it possible to have online consultancy?
I have been taking metformin for 35 years for type 2 diabetes. Most of that time 2x1000mgs daily. No side effects until recently, and it might be causing constipation. Or, maybe that is being caused by being 79 years old? Easy to fix with a stool softener. Also, 79 is 5 years older than the next oldest person in my immediate family lived to be. I have no idea if that is because of the metformin, but I have no intention of stopping it. For me it works great, and it's free with my insurance. Highly recommended...
The medical world wants to finish metformin because it is very cheap and affordable for poor. The drug companies are trying to stop metformin to sell other costly medicines. The same thing happened in BP medicine
Its function is AMP dependent protein kinase activity in liver so that it blocks the hepatic gluconeogenesis and increases the Peripheral uptake of glucose
A recent trial presented at ADA showed that metformin was used for 21 years in prediabetes It made no difference go their CVS risk hence its place in first use is questionable Yes it can be added on later on top of SGLT2 and DPP4
Excellent presentation with the past history, however, for 2MD ,it is to be used cautiously and more newer molecules have come up for management of DM 2.But,I would appreciate your depth of knowledge and the way of present ation.Keep on educating us in line with the cutting edge technology.
Sir,I admire your brief presentation of important medical topics for physicians as an endocrinologist.we would be grateful if also discuss current updates in the area of emergency medicine like stroke, Cardiology. allergy and cancer and immunology areas. Thanks
Thank you for the complete review of the topic. I was prescribed Metformin, and I just simply can not tolerate it without extreme GI reactions. My GP does not care in the slightest and tells me to just deal with having accidents and spending hours in the bathroom every day. This is one of the reasons that I won't take it, and I won't go back to see her for any reason. I am just done fighting this nonsense. There is no quality of life once you are diagnosed with diabetes, it seems.
I had the same, when I read, that you should try taking metformin with meals instead of after, as prescribed by two different doctors. since then I didnt have GI dsisturbances till 3 months, Once the dosage was upped to 3 x 500mg per day, My gut health went for a toss.
Many diabetics forget that a single day of having way too high bsl can cause damage to the fine blood vessels including those in the eyes. Diabetic retinopathy can start any time with uncontrolled sugar levels. And even if you are keeping it within a good range, one has to remember keeping blood pressure and bad cholesterol in check. And this applies to all people whether diabetic or not. Retinopathy can happen to those without diabetes.
My doctor prescribes, along with metformin compulsorily adding one blood thinner and one b12, some people says metformin will create blood clot, and lot of videos also says...sir request to please help, whether to take blood thinner or not...lot of controversial videos in you tube
Are you diabetic ? No, well I can tell you that not sleeping is very exhausting problem having 20 years of this experience. The doctors locally don't seem to be concerned except to have your card Vital.

What about those who left sugar and carbs out of their diet and fasting and regular exercise who reversed their diabetic disease?

So, she put me on regular metformin and my sugar levels are down along with diet changes. I do find the levels dropping below Zero but mostly stay in the 80s region at night but it seems metformin is working. My continuous glucose monitor is always showing lower number than my blood glucose monitor. For example, when it snows me 80 the blood glucose reading shows above 100. So weird. When I see lower number on CGM should I immediately act on it by taking quick acting carbs?
insulin adequacy test can be found out through C peptide test, Did it for myself and turned out my Body is producing with help of another drug to a good amount. did this test on my own, whereas a Senior Dibetologist said, Your body barely makes any insulin.

Sir, having taken metformin for over 3 years, I have lost weight , almost 5 kgs. Is this not a negative factor in use of metformin?
sir..i am 70 years aged,enjoying life,working,i am having fasting sugar around 130 with DaynagliptM..PPS is around 160..do you recomend anything? or is it possible to have online consultancy?
I have been taking metformin for 35 years for type 2 diabetes. Most of that time 2x1000mgs daily. No side effects until recently, and it might be causing constipation. Or, maybe that is being caused by being 79 years old? Easy to fix with a stool softener.
Also, 79 is 5 years older than the next oldest person in my immediate family lived to be. I have no idea if that is because of the metformin, but I have no intention of stopping it. For me it works great, and it's free with my insurance. Highly recommended...
God bless you Dr Obaz for saving me diabetes typed 1, I'll always appreciate you....
I was taking METFORMIN for more than 20 years. I have no problem.
30 years here, no problems.......I just turned 79 and I'm hoping the longevity possibility of Metformin turns out to be true...
What is the right daily dose of taking metformin is it 500mg only or 1000mg ( 500mg + 500mg) on a daily consumption
No discussion . You only spoke
Thanks a lot for this excellent presentation. As a diabetic patient I feel I am well informed.
The medical world wants to finish metformin because it is very cheap and affordable for poor. The drug companies are trying to stop metformin to sell other costly medicines. The same thing happened in BP medicine
Thankyou for explaining metformin and how it works to a non medical person, I feel so much more confident in taking it now thanks again 👏👏👍
Nobody know the actual mode of action of Metformin. But is gold standard drug in Diabetes and for other indications. It is also very economical.
Its function is AMP dependent protein kinase activity in liver so that it blocks the hepatic gluconeogenesis and increases the Peripheral uptake of glucose
Metformin gave me bad side effects. I reversed my D2 by just cutting out the foods that made my count go up. SIMPLE.
What side effects?
I had severe side effects. I cut out alll white sugar products and no longer use the drug. I'm Diabetes free now.
I attempted Metformin but I could only tolerate the diarrhea & cramps for 6 weeks and my physician took me off it!
Very interesting, and informative, on the history of this drug, ive been on it for three yrs and no problems with it, thank you for the video!👍💯
But this drug cause reduction of testosterone level in male .I saw the erection disturb my experience any body have this
Dear doctor I am 62years man with fbs 160 and A1c 6,8 is metformin good for me?
Other than a buttload of side effects almost worse than the high blood sugar its treating the price makes it easily affordable.
Thank u dr for clearly speaking about metfofmin. Very useful.
Due to this medicine i having Loos motions in every 15days zoryl m 3 how to cure this side effects
Thank you sir. My questions 1. What is G I? 2.You look like an Indian it would be better if you explain in Hindi too.
GI means gastro intestinal. So "GI problems" means stomach ache or diarrhoea (loose stools) or constipation (hard stools) etc.
A recent trial presented at ADA showed that metformin was used for 21 years in prediabetes It made no difference go their CVS risk hence its place in first use is questionable Yes it can be added on later on top of SGLT2 and DPP4
Very informative presentation.Cleared my doubts on metformin. Thanks for your sharing of knowledge.May God bless you sir.
Excellent presentation with the past history, however, for 2MD ,it is to be used cautiously and more newer molecules have come up for management of DM 2.But,I would appreciate your depth of knowledge and the way of present ation.Keep on educating us in line with the cutting edge technology.
I hope this man teaches med students. But it seems that in this video he IS talking to medical doctors, so that is great to know.
Thanks Dr sahib for clarification of new drugs for diabetes 2 n making us understand more about metformin medicines 💊 .so nice of you.
Learnt so much. Thank you Sir! This was brief, crisp and and full of impt knowledge ❤️
It has really helped me to come out of confusion whether to stop Metformin or not.
Thank you so much for your clear talk Doctor
Sir,I admire your brief presentation of important medical topics for physicians as an endocrinologist.we would be grateful if also discuss current updates in the area of emergency medicine like stroke, Cardiology. allergy and cancer and immunology areas. Thanks
Very good and nicely organized material. 👌. Keep it up. All the best.
It fouled up my thyroid. When stopped, my thyroid got well.
Hell yeah, I had bad side effects, put me in the emergency room!
Thank you for the complete review of the topic. I was prescribed Metformin, and I just simply can not tolerate it without extreme GI reactions. My GP does not care in the slightest and tells me to just deal with having accidents and spending hours in the bathroom every day. This is one of the reasons that I won't take it, and I won't go back to see her for any reason. I am just done fighting this nonsense. There is no quality of life once you are diagnosed with diabetes, it seems.
Are you taking Metformin extended release? If not, you may find the ER version easier on your gut. Good luck!
I had the same, when I read, that you should try taking metformin with meals instead of after, as prescribed by two different doctors. since then I didnt have GI dsisturbances till 3 months, Once the dosage was upped to 3 x 500mg per day, My gut health went for a toss.
Are you a sales rep?
Crystal clear analysis and elaborate explanation of the need for Metformin to treat diabetes
I threw mine away it was a bunch of crap that did nothing for me in my opinion
CARBOHYDRATE RESTRICTION
Many diabetics forget that a single day of having way too high bsl can cause damage to the fine blood vessels including those in the eyes. Diabetic retinopathy can start any time with uncontrolled sugar levels. And even if you are keeping it within a good range, one has to remember keeping blood pressure and bad cholesterol in check. And this applies to all people whether diabetic or not. Retinopathy can happen to those without diabetes.
Dr please tell us about Sitaglipsin 50 mg along with Metformin 500 mg combination tablet to treat Diabetes ..
It is now very commonly used drug nowadays and it is safe but expensive.
