Any nondiabetics on Metformin for PC?

Just wondering about whether it would cause side-effects for a someone who is not diabetic. What is the dose you take?

Same as Jerry, 2 - 500mg per day.

Same dose .No side effects.Just take with meal to avoid your blood sugar to crash
It keeps my blood sugar between 90-95.It was 112 before I started.
Good luck

Yes..he started me on this like 18 months ago. We had an interesting conversation about this and a few other meds. I've had no side effects with it... that I know of.

Is your father taking it or considering it?

If you search within HW for Metformin and pc, you'll probably come across other guys using it along with some good articles about it. If you want me to link them here, let me know.

Thanks, Jerry. I was thinking of adding it to my dad´s supplements while he is in the "off" cycle to slow his PSA. The main goal to delay the "on" phase as long as possible. Another year would be grand. I see that as my job, because his doctor is only interested in the standard protocol and official therapies during the "on" phase.

Dad is already quite thin and does not need to lose any kg, so I was just wondering how this drug would affect someone who is not a diabetic and thin, but seems like you guys are handling it well. I already read that kidney and liver values have to be good in order to take this medication. Will search a bit more, thanks.

Thanks, Jerry. No he never had the spots radiated. He will have a bone scan this month, keeping our fingers crossed.
