[QUOTE="Mep, post: 1096740, member: 211362"] hi Cazza - hopefully they run those diagnostic tests for you again (GAD & c-peptide) to work out what is going on. You could be type 1.5 as your nurse mentioned. Also you could be type 1 or even type 2 with insufficient insulin. Type 2 progresses. I noticed you mentioned they found a problem with your liver function. That in itself could be an issue for you as metformin works on the liver. If the liver isn't working properly, maybe the metformin isn't absorbing properly either. Also in my experience on metformin alone it didn't significantly decrease my BGLs. It could just be that you need to be on another type of drug or even insulin to get good control. Whatever the outcome, I wish you the best. :) [/QUOTE]
