Metformin Withdrawal In Metabolic Syndrome

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate how a short-term interruption of metformin treatment affects insulin sensitivity, glucose control, and metabolic flexibility in adults with metabolic syndrome who are taking metformin as part of their usual medical treatment. Temporary interruptions in metformin treatment may occur in real-life situations, such as missed doses, medication access problems, travel, or planned short-term discontinuation for clinical reasons. This study aims to understand whether stopping metformin for 14 days leads to rapid changes in glucose metabolism or whether the effects of previous metformin treatment may persist during a short period without the medication. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does stopping metformin for 14 days worsen glucose control or insulin sensitivity measured by oral glucose tolerance tests, HbA1c, and continuous glucose monitoring? Does stopping metformin for 14 days affect metabolic flexibility, measured by indirect calorimetry during the oral glucose tolerance test? Does stopping metformin for 14 days affect blood lipids, liver and inflammatory markers, red blood cell parameters, kidney function markers, fasting lactate levels, blood pressure, or heart rate? Researchers will compare participants who stop metformin for 14 days with participants who continue their usual metformin treatment to see whether temporary metformin discontinuation affects insulin sensitivity, glucose control, metabolic flexibilit…
