I am responding to metformin. I use to take metformin till it started shutting down my vital organs.

No metformin is not what was shutting your organs ! It’s because you were an alcoholic and a smoker !

Of not. They work totally differently and metformin isn't insulin in any form. They are given for different reasons and one does not replace the other.
