Hello
Has anyone had experience using metformin as a type 1? My doctor wants to try me on it to see if it will help reduce my appetite and hunger and hopefully help me drop a few pounds. I’m not particularly insulin resistant but I do have times where I need ALOT more insulin than usual.
I’m also on a pump and since transitioning onto it I’ve gained about a stone in weight!
How have you found metformin, are there any side effects?
Thanks x
