A question, I have been T1 for 42 years, recently I have started eating very low carb and the difference is incredible. I am in target 90 plus percent and my A1c is coming down. I have terrible insulin resistance and take metformin with my insulin. I am down about 40u of fiasp a day and my basal is down by 16u a day but started over the last few days to have lots of stubborn hypos, virtually no fast acting at all most of the time just a unit here and there to prevent a rise. Anyone out there find their insulin resistance lessening, don't know whether to lower the metformin?

That is great news @Suzysbm, I hope you are been doing this in conjunction with your health team? Especially now that hypos are starting cause trouble? Any decisions about your medication is really up to you and your health team.
Wishing You continued good health and BSLs !!
