A member asked:
Am cortisol too high- taking metformin for hypoglycemic symptoms-would like to address adrenal problem also-can i take seriphos at the same time ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You sound confused: Metformin is a medication used to treat hyperglycemia (high sugars) not hypoglycemia (low sugars). A single morning cortisol level is a fairly worthless test. What makes you think you have an adrenal problem? Seriphos is a supplement that has no medical studies that show that it does anything helpful for you.
