[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2374635, member: 365308"] I have been offered it as a type 1 but I don't think i have insulin resistance. It is a cheap drug which reduces the action of glucagon (production of glucose by the liver) and is associated with a reduction in cancer incidence in the wider population. Anything that keeps glucose and insulin low could also help prevent heart disease. I declined it because the consultant couldn't really explain any of that to me in simple mechanistic terms and I'd rather achieve better control via diet/keeping insulin needs low. [/QUOTE]
