Abstract

Old age is one of many reported contraindications to metformin therapy. We measured plasma lactate and pyruvate in type 2 diabetes patients with or without metformin. Plasma lactate was not elevated in the metformin-treated group. Plasma lactate levels did not correlate with age. Patients with high lactate had alcoholism, heart failure, asthma, and arteriosclerosis obliterans. One was administered excess metformin. These cases were generally contraindicated, suggesting that age alone should not be considered a contraindication to metformin therapy.
