[QUOTE="elaine77, post: 386945, member: 59930"] Hey I take 2x 500mg Metformin per day, it's definitely worth it because the way it works is that it makes your body more receptive to the insulin you DO produce so while ur still producing some it will help. I'm surprised they haven't suggested it really? Alot of people say it only brings you down by 1-2mmol but that's not true because when I went through a switch from standard release to slow release Metformin my BS shot up by at least 4mmol in the overlap time whilst the new tablets started working. I think us 1.5s are a complete mystery lol Diagnosed with GD in 2010, Completely disappeared postpartum. Re-diagnosed December 2012 with type 1.5 diabetes, age 26, BMI 23 currently controlled by only Metformin, 500mg twice a day. [/QUOTE]
