Outcome measures

Outcome measures
Measure
Pre and Post Placebo 12 Weeks
n=11 Participants
measured % dilation in response to shear stress before and after 2 hour insulin clamp which is performed before and after 12 weeks of Placebo tablets 3X daily
Pre and Post Metformin 12 Weeks
n=11 Participants
measured % dilation in response to shear stress before and after 2 hour insulin clamp which is performed before and after 12 weeks of Metformin tablets 3X daily
Flow Mediated Dilation - Endothelial Function
