[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1473932, member: 32394"] Youre type 1 on insulin and oral meds of metformin and forxiga. Type 1 diabetics aren't usually on oral meds unless there is some insulin resistance going on. Do you have insulin resistance? What's your total daily dose of insulin? With a basal dose of 14 it's probably not high enough to suggest insulin resistance (although you might be having to do some pretty strong boluses through the day if you only take levemir at night, levemir only lasts 12-14 hours so will have run out mid morning and your bolus doses will be having to do the job of your basal, you might want to consider basal testing and see if that indicates a split dose). If you are thinking about stopping oral meds do discuss with your DSN. They can also discuss splitting your basal. [/QUOTE]
