To answer Dr.BariatricHTX's question specifically:

From a clinical standpoint, Got off metformin for the is an area where we have good evidence.

The short answer: baseline labs + quarterly monitoring is the standard of care.

The longer answer involves understanding the mechanism of action at the receptor level, which I am happy to elaborate on if helpful.
