[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 880907, member: 21149"] You need also to be aware that tablets are not a magical solution. Metformin only really helps those who are overweight and then just a bit. Gliclazide only helps if you have enough working islet cells and Sitagliptin etc only helps a bit. I was on full dose of all three for years with little effect. Yes, GPs don't understand that T1 can occur at any age as it did for me at age 50. Insulin isn't actually that expensive if your dose is low. I only use one needle per day and only test 1-3 times per day so am a low-cost insulin user. Sitagliptin isn't cheap. Leave well alone. [/QUOTE]
