So first foray into the forum so please be gentle and apologies for asking questions which may have been asked before!
Originally diagnosed as T2 6 years ago, i am a bit ocd about monitoring and have invested in a freestyle libre, before that finger pricking too many times a day but around 4 years ago was fit to tell my doctor that metformin was not controlling my blood sugar, it took them 6 months to agree with me and then they decided i was LADA and straight onto insulin. They told me to come off metformin which when i did sent my levels mad, so the doc agreed with me that i should continue to take the pills as well as insulin, reading above i am now thinking i should stop taking the pills, currently taking 1000mg metformin sr, what do you think, i suspect the doc would be happy for me to stop but does not push it?
Also seeing as i am on a roll!! My hba1c is reasonable at around 7.2, however my blood sugar levels after meals regularly hit 12-15mmol and have done so as long as i can remember, i do regularly compare with finger pricks confirming libre giving accurate readings. I read somewere else on the forum that levels should be 8-10 after food but i find if i use enough insulin to peak at 10 after a meal i will go low and have to take sugar to stop hypo?
Many more questions to ask but will leave it here for now.
