Initially put on metformin and tried to control via diet only. However, I had to progress to introduce insulin about 5-6 years ago as sugars just wouldn't come down.Recently I was part of a group study investigating early onset diabetes in type 2's. Only to find out that my results showed that I'm type 1.I spoke with my doctor today who didn't seem that fazed by my results and said that the form of medication and attention i.e. annual eye tests, quarterly fasting blood results etc is what is standard for type 1's also.I would just like some reassurance & advice from those of you with type 1 that this is correct. I currently take x4 500g metformin daily. 16 units of levemir every evening and novorapid as and when depending on what food I eat - am trying to follow a low carb diet which i'm usually good at for a couple of weeks, then go on a carb binge and fail miserably for the next 2 weeks!!Fundamentally, should I be concerned about this latest twist??</blockquote>
