Oooh, I'd missed the "pack of pills lasted a year" post. Yeah, they are stupid, and I figured this was one of those, but some strains of stupidity that are refutable really easily drive me to actually try to comment and generally ease the overall strain of Teh Stupid in the universe. This isn't a person who will be swayed by "The benefits outweigh the costs," because if there's any meds that take up residence in her liver, she'll feel she needs to detox. But if as I understand from Beth's post above, the Metformin isn't collecting in the liver so much as (believed to be) inhibiting an enzyme the liver is 'known' for, then there's no 'toxin' so to speak. OTOH, since Met's function isn't really fully understood, there's a loophole for Teh Stupid to get out no matter what we *do* know about it.

I wanna be a doctor now, doctors are cool. :P Can I go to med school?
