Metformin is one of those drugs that look perfect on paper and is shitty in real life. GI distress being very common.
But increasing insulin sensitivity in myocytes would be a good thing.
As for quitting insulin, i didn't mean to quit insulin and rather use sulfonyl drugs to increase insulin secretion and metformin,
I thought that most type 2's could quit insulin by diet/training alone.
But I'm not an expert on diabetes and only familiar with the typical type 2 "late onset" diabetes that in those I know where it occurred,
could have reversed it with lifestyle. (Most did unless old and caused by agents like beta adrenergic antagonists)
As far as the OP is concerned I would simply say that the better the insulin sensitivity the less insulin he'll need, but more importantly,
the better BG will be controlled. So I would advice against MK.
With morning BG at 12mmol/L I would expect some reflection in HbA1c.
AAS generally improve insulin sensitivity, so go ahead with that.
But MK and such, not worth it IMO.
