[QUOTE="ringi, post: 1739590, member: 410240"] It is unlikely a 13-year old (unless very overweight) will have a high enough level of insulin resistance to benefit from metformin. (Being overweight is a common symptom of insulin resistance.) One way to think about it is that Type2 is one of many symptoms of insulin resistance and that metformin is a treatment for insulin resistance, not Type2. About 50% of the UK population has a high level of insulin resistance, having Type1 does not change the probability of having insulin resistance. [/QUOTE]
