    Fixing Dad ...

    I don't know if any of you have ever heard of this. It's a BBD documentary about how a couple of brothers decided to help their father "reverse" his diabetes.

    Medication

    I take 1000 mg of metformin twice daily. Been told 2 different things but 2 different dr. One says take 1000 mg at time and one says only take 500mg at time as body only absorbs that much and other 500 is going to waste.
