Metformin is very beneficial to diabetics...I have been taking metformin for a very long time...probably since I was diagnosed in 2000. I get the gastrointestinal side effects and had to stop taking it at one point because the runs got so bad. Since I now also take vicoden, that counteracts that so I was put back on metformin. Metformin is very beneficial in encouraging the glucose metabolic process and makes insulin, both natural and injected, more efficient.

Are you saying that they are used to treat problems that are caused by diet? And possibly can be treated by better diet? Oh wait, probably this stuff, huh: However, a more recent study suggested that prophylaxis with proton pump inhibitors <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton_pump_inhibitor> along with clopidogrel following acute coronary syndrome<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_coronary_syndrome> may increase adverse cardiac outcomes, possibly due to inhibition of CYP2C19<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CYP2C19>, which is required for the conversion of clopidogrel to its active form However, Wikipedia is silent on interactions with metformin, although I'd be skeptical if someone wanted to prescribe it for me....looks like benefits are questionable at best. You've made your point on Nexium with me though -- the people who manage my warfarin seem to be convinced that Nexium is harmless. Wikipedia does not agree. It may be a good topic for further research, so thanks for bringing that to my attention.
