Diet drinks - the artificial sweeteners taste vile.
Having to forswear foods I have loved all my life.
Trying to find low carb meals when eating out.
Is the change to basal-bolus regime something the GP can do, I didn’t like to ask the doctor as he wanted me to come of the insulin altogether but I wasn’t comfortable with having another medication change. I will ask the nurse tomorrow but I’m so confused right now, I always seem to come out of doctors appointments with more question than I go in with.
What job does the metformin have working along side the insulin?
Not sure that you have had a specific reply to this.
One thing Metformin does is help to reduce insulin resistance.
Therefore it can be prescribed both T1s and insulin dependant T2s to make the injected insulin more effective at lowering blood glucose levels
