Hi,
Sorry if this has already been covered but I need some advice.
My consultant requested a GAD test as he couldn't believe how small my insulin doses are (I eat a lchf diet and probably still honeymooning). Anyway, he believed I was insulin resistant not type one and so prescribed metformin and said only take levemir and not novorapid. Anyway that was 4 weeks ago and I haven't taken the metformin as I've had a few colds and was told to start it when I was feeling better. Subsequently I have received my GAD results that have said I am type one. The consultant wrote to me and said to remain with the metformin and insulin. My question is, what should I do? Can I take novorapid now? He has prescribed 500mg metformin.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you!
