Enttäuschender Medizinjournalismus
Medizinportale berichten von einer Studie, laut der bei #COVID19 eingenommenes #Metformin das Risiko, an #LongCovid halbiere.
Tatsächlich zeigte die Studie, die einige Probleme hat, leider keine signifikante Wirkung. Lediglich ein sekundärer Endpunkt ("klinisch diagnostiziertes Long Covid") war positiv, allerdings mit einem enorm hohen Konfidenzintervall - risk ratio 0.495 (95% CrI 0.155 to 0.995).
Vielleicht werden zukünftige Studien ein Wirksamkeit von Metformin belegen. Hinweise dafür gibt es ja einige. Aber wenn Studienergebnisse so selektiv wiedergegeben werden, ohne auf den Unterschied primärer vs sekundärer Endpunkt oder auf Konfidenzintervalle einzugehen, dann ist das Ahnungslosigkeit oder Propaganda.

Metformin, the diabetes drug that has been thought to suppress glucose production in the liver, instead inhibits mitochondria in the gut, causing the gut to increase its consumption (and breakdown) of glucose.

After 60+ years, the common diabetes drug metformin has been found to unexpectedly affect the brain.
A new study shows it targets the protein Rap1 in the ventromedial hypothalamus, activating SF1 neurons to help lower blood glucose — and it works at much lower concentrations in the brain than in the body.
Promising findings that could lead to better treatments for glucose control and possibly brain protection.#Metformin #Diabetes #BrainHealth #MedicalResearch #Prediabetes

CW: Diabetes Request to share experiences with semaglutide
My #endocrinologist still can't make up their mind whether I have #diabetes type 1 or type 2 because #COVID19 gave me diabetes. They switched me from #insulin to #metformin and it's working pretty well. They plan to add some #glp1 agonist at some point down the road. Not sure about that though. I know that both insulin and #Semaglutid are hormons that are native to the body. But I just feel (maybe irrational) apprehension towards drugs like #ozempic. Any fellow #diabetic got some experiences to share?

@unchartedworlds @EricCarroll No, that's right, and it is super cheap.
It's really interesting that #metformin seems to have antiviral effects, given the reduction in viral load reported there. I wonder what other viruses it effects similarly?

Last week, I had another check-up by our company physician.(*)
The _last_ one, three years ago, ended very dramatically - the physician called me the next day and told me that my blood sugar values were so high that I should check in with a clinic _right now_.
I did so, stayed there for two nights(**), got some #insulin injections, got out, had a few further medical checkups, and took #metformin for a year.
I also had a few appointments with a nutritionist who explained a few things to me. I then made a few changes to my diet and my exercise habits.
After that year had passed, my blood sugar levels were low enough that my #diabetes could be considered in full remission, and I stopped taking the pills - although I still check my blood sugar values regularly.
I didn't get my full evaluation yet. However, I did learn that my eyesight is a lot better than three years ago - back then, I was told that I shouldn't drive without glasses (which was easy to do, since I don't drive cars anyway). Now I have full vision again at both long and intermediate ranges, although I need reading glasses on short distances (which I already knew).
So while it's not always possible to control all aspects of one's health, I _am_ pretty glad I managed to control _this_ one.
(*) For the record, I live in a country where it is illegal for my employer to know any medical details about me other than the minimum necessary - such as "This person is sick, and cannot come to work this week". So while this physician was hired by our company to do these (voluntary) checkups, he does maintain patient confidentiality.
(**) Total out-of-pocket costs: €30, plus another €15 for WLAN access.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@ScienceScholar/115601989659657758
Don't let the dire-sounding headline confuse you. This all sounds like good news (I've been taking the stuff for about at least eight years now). The stuff still works, and the possible side effects discussed are GOOD and make more sense now.

Another paper about AMPK. This gives a good overview as well as information about AMPK activation.
Takeaway: If you wish you had access to Metformin but don't, you might want to look into what this paper says about AMPK activation.

Seit 15 Jahren wird mein #diabetestype2 mit einem Kombipräparat aus #Metformin behandelt und lag immer beim #hba1c um die 6%. Durch die Sportabstinenz des letzten halben Jahres ist er auf 8,5 % geklettert. Mein Hausarzt hat mir daher zusätzlich "Jardiance", einen SGLT2-Hemmer verordnet, den ich nun seit 14 Tagen nehme. Neben einem #Gewichtsverlust von aktuell 2,3 kg ist auch mein Blutdruck deutlich nach unten gegangen.
Nimmt hier auch jemand dieses Mittel und hat evtl. Langzeiterfahrung?
