[QUOTE="Geoff, post: 191343, member: 7293"] After reading some articles on ongoing research for improving sensitivity to insulin in type 1 diabetics, I have noticed that my insulin requirement had more than doubled in the last eighteen months for roughly the same amount of carbs that I consume each day, I asked my GP if I could start a three month trial using Metformin to see if it would improve my condition. Before starting my Hba1C had risen to 6.6 and my weight from 76kg to 84kg, also my av daily insulin requirement had risen from 26 units to 54 units per day. After the three months my new tests showed a drop to 6.1, weight back down to 76kg and best of all insulin requirement returned to 26 units. So for me it has worked well and I am now continuing to use it at 1500mgs per day to see if I can get further improvement. [/QUOTE]
