Hello all!
I'm type one diabetic, have been now for eight years.
I'm on novorapid and levemir and take an extremely high dose of this and it barely affects my blood sugars.
My DSN is putting my on metformin, I've read this is for people with type two and overweight.
I'm underweight at the moment, however I'm going on metformin to hopefully increase my sensitivity to the insulin being injected. (60units for a 19 year old is a pretty high amount!)
Has anyone ever experienced this?
Does metformin have any weird side effects?
How will metformin affect my weight?
Thanks all x
