Hi all

After seeing my consultant the other day he has decreased my levimer from 22 bd to 16 and 20 plus my usual humalog

He also added metformin as I have PCOS . I am on 500mg bd increasing to 1000mg bd... I have only been on it a few days but I have not had a reading above 10!!!! Such a miracle. My humalog doses have also decreased dramatically too. Anyone else found this t2 drug work well with insulin or could I b type 1.5???

I am worried about increasing it to 1000mg bd if only 500mg is working

They also added ramapril for blood pressure and to protect my kidneys
