Diabetes, Post Workout, and Glucophage...

[Captain FT]

My father is recently retired (age 62) and working out a lot more than he use to. I'm curious... being a type 2 diabetic, is there an optimal time to take his glucophage pill post workout with some protein and carbs?

I would think that post workout would be a good time to take that. Insulin is always desirable immediately after lifting because it pushes protein and glucose into deprived muscle.

Medical advice should be considered by someone who specializes, professionally, with that of which you are seeking advice. Something this important should not be taken lightly.
