[QUOTE="xyzzy, post: 1352033, member: 40343"] Hi Sid hope all is well with you!. Thanks for your kind post it genuinely means a lot to have your support. Yes the DB nurse was suggesting the exact same thing and given the T1 history I wasn't too surprised. I've got some decisions to make in the next few months. I'm seeing a gradual drop off in BG's now I've gone full out VLC but like yourself I'd rather continue around the 120g / day mark which is where I've sat the last 4 years since my regular posting days :) My plan at diagnosis was low carb metformin and then if that didn't work go straight to low carb insulin as I think its pointless going up the meds elevator as its only delaying the inevitable - that's my choice and I'm not saying its the right way for everyone. The two new drugs I mentioned may provide same kind of delay as they look pretty safe so long as your kidneys are working well - the challenge will be to get them prescribed. Thanks again Sid, take care and keep in touch Steve [/QUOTE]
