[QUOTE="Jaylee, post: 1310152, member: 101136"] Hi, Metformin works by increasing insulin sensitivity (insulin resistance is common in T2s.) & meant to stop the liver dumping glycogen into the system.. Now insulin? I don't know what sort of regime your mum was on? But needless to say (from your posts.) her carb intake was a major factor in conjunction with how man made insulin performs.. (The "one" didn't work for her.) none of these meds stand alone as a magic bullet to the diabetic condition. This is not your fault.! History don't need to repeat.. There are alot of respected low carbing T2s off meds on here... You can't go wrong keeping company with these guys.. As an aside. My apologies as a T1 if I come across as a bit "blunt" on this T2 subject. (Not my intention.) I joined this forum initially in the interests of my now deceased T2 dad. Wishing you the best! [/QUOTE]
