Hi
So have been a type 1 for 24 years
My control lately has been pretty bad, a lot of high sugars
My nurse has suggested giving bigger doses of insulin
Still not working, had a call with her in the week & she would like me to try Metformin
She does not like the idea of me going low carb- she tells me my body is screaming out for carbs- but when I have the carbs (which tends to be for breakfasts) I suffer with massive highs
Can I do low carb & use this Metformin?
Or will going strictly low carb be the answer?
Really appreciate some advice
Many thanks
