[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2295994, member: 401801"] Metformin should make you more sensitive to the insulin you're taking. There is a slow release version that will possibly suit you better, so you might want to request that straight off the bat, and you have to make sure to take it with food, because it'll wreak havoc on an empty stomach if you're susceptible to that. I don't remember whether you've tried a low carb diet to reduce blood sugars -tricky when on insulin though, could cause hypo's- but just in case I'll leave this here: [URL]https://josekalsbeek.blogspot.com/2019/11/the-nutritional-thingy.html[/URL] . It might help, and quite a few people have come off of insulin because of low carb eating. Good luck! Jo, who couldn't stand metformin either. [/QUOTE]
