Glucose tolerance tests at the ages of 17 and 55 following the ingestion of 50 grams of dextrose. The patient was taking no medications at age 17 and metformin at age 55.

In Figure 4, this test was compared to a glucose tolerance test conducted when the patient was 17 years old.
Carbohydrate intake sorted by day of week between the ages of 53 and 55 years.

A low carbohydrate ramping diet used by many weight lifters was adopted at age 53 years.  Figure 5 illustrates the number of carbohydrates sorted by day of week over a two-year average between the ages of 53 and 55 years.
Weight plotted against annual hiking distances in mountainous terrain. The change in slope in these data at age 27 indicates that his maximum skeletal growth was attained by that age.

As shown in Figure 6, these data revealed a very a strong correlation with weight decreasing at a rate of 1 kg for every 71 km of annual hiking in mountainous terrain.
Weight beyond age 27 sorted according to whether or not the patient was actively engaged in a weight lifting program. The data indicate a decrease of 3.6kg in overall weight during the weight lifting years.

For the years beyond age 27, the data shown in Figure 7 were further subdivided into the years the patient was actively engaged in a weight lifting program and compared to those years with no active weight lifting.
Weight beyond age 27 sorted according to whether or not metformin therapy was prescribed. The lack of significant separation in the curves strongly suggests that this is a weight neutral medication. There are an insignificant amount of data for the weight lifting years to be included at this time.
