Hi everyone
I'm new to this forum so apologies if I am posting this in the wrong section.
I've been diabetic for around 20 years, I'm 28 and my last hba1c was around 9%. I am currently taking novorapid and tresiba (50u a day).
I've just been to see my consultant who has prescribed me with metformin. He didn't really give much detail about it but he says it should help me lose weight (I am just over 14st and 5ft 7 in height).
I've done a bit of research and can't find much on the use of metformin for type 1 diabetics and I also understand it hasnt been approved as a drug for this purpose?
Can anyone shed any light?
Thank you
Laura
