[QUOTE="ThePenguinPimp, post: 1809835, member: 265801"] I can see where you are coming from but as I have my appointment on Monday at Kings there is no way my doc would have given me a different insulin as they are the experts. It will take some time for the metformin to get into my system (you only start on 500 a day and end up on 2000 a day) so over next couple weeks I'm going to be adjusting everything. My pump and cgm will make this easier I hope. Ultimately the least insulin I can take the better so if the metformin is going to mean a reduction in whatever kind of insulin I take this can only be a good thing with diabetes as brittle as mine (I cant go lower carb without going zero carb and cutting out veg). Thank you for your comment last night I read it just before switching off my pc and was too tired to reply. I am pretty sure this isnt anything like an infection its the story of my life my diabetes has always been so unpredictable. I got the doc to give me some metformin tabs today.. will take advice off the diabetes specialists on Mon but am going to request a change of insulin aswell and take advice on which one (but I agree about the simpler the better).
