[QUOTE="hanadr, post: 26783, member: 8110"] Metformin is a treatment for T2 diabetes. It enables the insulin you produce to work more effectively plus a few other things. it's a great medicine, but can upset the digestion until you adapt to it. That might be what your DSN meant. It's of NO use to T1s unless they are also on insulin. there's a natural assumption that if someone of "Middleyears" presents with diabetes symptoms, They MUST be T2. Katharine is a GP with a special interest in diabetes and I'm sure would look more carefully at her patients. She's what might be called a "rara avis" In the end, it doesn't much matter if they get the most accurate diagnosis, as long as the treatment is right. As you say you are very short and very overweight. It might be most helpful to you and your future health if you go to a much reduced carbohydrate eating plan. that would help with your BG numbers, very quickly and with the weight. If your digestion is so sensitive, you need to find out what you can eat safely and check how you can reduce the carbs within that. Try reading Bernstein. You might find some help there. [/QUOTE]
