    I dont know. Insulin is very biological compatible, no really side effects. Using some other drugs like metformin, can have much worse side effects.

    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.
