[QUOTE="Covichuela, post: 912822, member: 194228"] Thank you very much for the info! I actually asked to my doctor to use insulin because I read it´s good to preserver my cells but he said no. My current doctor didn´t mention insulin yet, she said I can use the metformin as insulin, adapting the dose… what it really scares me are the hypos, because with the pills sometimes I got 3,2 reads and once I´ve got 2.8! I was so shaky and scared!!! I know a few Diabetics type 1 who said it was impossible I was type 2. I am actually very skinny, my BMI is 18 and it just felt wrong than even eating low carbs and pills sometimes I reach 11 or 13. When I was diagnosed I was 20 fasting. My doctor told me she has some patients type 1.5 who are 50 and 60 years old and still on pills… I looked at her and said: "Is that even possible…?" and she answered: "Yes, of course… each person is different. You need to avoid the stress". I think she tried to cheer me up… Anyway, thank you very much for the feedback! It´s being really helpful so far, I feel like there are people who understands me!
