Slightly tangential to COA red flag compilation but MaxMetOK 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.

Shop Reference StandardsReading this thread on COA red flag compilation hits close to home. Night shift nurse — I started at 295 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.
