Rare genital defects seen in sons of men taking major diabetes drug
Metformin is the first resort in diabetes treatment. If it proves to truly increase birth defects by 40% that may have to change.<p>It was my doctor's first resort for me, but the side effects were too severe and I stopped it. He vaguely mentioned that it would help if I lost weight, but made no mention of what actually resolved my diabetes, a low carb diet. I hope that becomes the first resort. Apparently around here it's not even in the standard toolkit.
