It's pretty cheap already. Metformin. One of the least expensive options for diabetes

Well, that is probably good. I always feel a little pessimistic when I see something like this. Any time they can increase production, they tend to think about the dollars first and the impact second. It took way too long for regulation to catch up with them putting antibiotics in feed to increase production. I think they wouldn't stop by themselves if they had to put a few diabetics in comas if they could increase egg production by some percentage. (I am also very pro-farmer, but competition forces out anybody who won't sink to the common low.)

That's my concern too. People jumping or trying to push into using it before the possible consequences are fully known.
