[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2406023, member: 365308"] If you have double diabetes i.e. both insulin resistant AND needing to inject insulin then I'd have thought some of the dietary advice offered to the classic insulin resistant type 2s would be appropriate i.e. to reduce carbs (and bolus obviously). Did your team mention this as an option? This drug works by getting you to pee out some of your glucose (developed from observing how untreated type 1s excrete glucose!) but if you imagine how high your glucose goes when you do not inject insulin and even when not eating I think the doctors are expecting too much from this drug and as has been pointed out it comes with side effects. If you can turn off the glucose tap by eating a little less bread, pasta, rice and avoiding sugar that might be a lot more effective than just the drug by itself. Sorry that I don't have any type 1 experience with this class of drug other than a type 2 friend who took it and managed to shed a little weight but not much. [/QUOTE]
