I don't know if we have any diabetics on the board (other than oldCADuser), but my big brother has been a Type 1 diabetic since age 14 and is still going strong. His secret to keeping the disease in check has been tremendous dietary discipline that enabled him to keep his insulin levels pretty low, and diligent monitoring of his blood sugar levels.

In the last few weeks, he spoke to his doctor about Metformin, a drug for Type 2 diabetics and asked if he could get a prescription. Surprisingly, his doctor went along with it. Almost immediately upon starting with the drug his insulin requirements plummeted to less than half of what they had been. He's totally blown away by this. Keep in mind that high insulin levels are the main reason why Type 1 diabetics tend to lose limbs, go blind and die horribly.

Here's what's funny: His real reason for wanting a Metformin prescription is that it has extraordinary anti-aging properties. It has also been around for a tremendously long time and is very safe (as far as drugs go.) Those in the know recommend it for ANYONE - so long as they aren't on medication that conflicts with it. I'm not sure if I am or not. Metformin does have a moderate effect on one of my meds (not the blood thinner).

Anyway, I thought I'd mention it to you guys. Something to think about.
