Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dougal" data-source="post: 366637" data-attributes="member: 44027">I am T1, have been for 27 years.  I take 3 x 500mg Metformin every day.  It has been very good for me, I was insulin resistant and my insulin doses kept creeping up and up.  This caused me to put on huge amounts of weight, my self-esteem disappeared and I felt that there was no reason to keep on living.  Metformin helped to slowly reduce my insulin requirement, which made losing weight easier.  My life is coming back together again, but Metformin definitely helped to get me moving along the right track.  I asked the other day if i should stop taking it, and was told in no uncertain terms that that would be a very big mistake. So, I am here today and very proud to say that I've made it through thanks to Metformin! I hope it works for you!  You can always give it ago and stop taking it if you want to . . . . . . <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
