[QUOTE="LucySW, post: 596300, member: 113749"] Does anyone know whether Metformin is primarily prescribed for insulin resistance? The hospital doc I saw this week said so. Is it true? She thought I shd drop the Metformin bec (as a LADA) I'm less likely to be insulin resistant. So she tht it probably wasn't helping. But my BS responds to exercise, so isn't that because I am IR? Any experience with this? Lucy LADA, 55, BMI 23, moderately active. Diagnosed Type 1 in July 2014 after GAD antibody test. On LCHF and Metformin plus a bit of ex. HbA1c currently down from 117 /12.9% to 78 / 9.3% and dropping. Average fasting a.m. BS currently 6.6. [/QUOTE]
