Slightly tangential to HOMA-IR tracking on GLP-1 but Dr.ObesityLA reminded me — does anyone have experience combining this with metformin?
I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.
