[QUOTE="Celsus, post: 1768250, member: 185674"] I had come across some more descriptive and concluding research on Metformin usage by Diabetes Type1 patients in PubMed and MedScape, and here I found a source that is open to public forum: [URL]http://www.endocrinologynetwork.com/diabetes/adjuvant-metformin-type-1-diabetes[/URL] And I quote: --- Adjunctive metformin may have [U]small short-term benefits[/U], but [B]it provides [U]no added benefit during 10-year follow-up[/U][/B], according to a study published online in [I]Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism[/I]. The study is the first retrospective, long-term analysis of metformin as adjuvant therapy to insulin in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). [B]“We conclude that metformin is [U]not[/U] associated with long-term beneficial effects on BMI, HbA1c or daily insulin dose when added as adjunct therapy to intensive insulin therapy in T1DM patients,” [/B] --- So the question remain: Then why take Metformin as a type1?
