RE: Something the mainstream media is not covering could save your life
It sounds like a really good medicine. We should just be cautious though before taking it. :)

With any drug you should always be careful and seek a doctor's advice on whether it's right for you. What excites me about metformin is it's on the path to become the first medication licensed for treating aging itself and is generally well tolerated by most people - and it's cheap too.
When the current study concludes I really hope it starts being prescribed en masse for aging and I also hope the attention on metformin inspires further work in the field of interventive biogerontology.
Fun fact - my order of it arrived from the pharmacy today and it was the wrong med - always double check before you take a new med :)
I am expecting the correct stuff (pure metformin as opposed to metformin+glimepiride combo) to come tomorrow and will post to let people know about side effects etc.
One caution for anyone interested: DO NOT consume alcohol with metformin, the combo can be lethal - which is the exact opposite of the whole point.
Since I don't consume alcohol anyway it's not a big deal for me, but a lot of people like a drink.
