[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 1768639, member: 372717"] The metformin not for T1s is interesting. I was recently on a double blind 3 year study to see whether metformin would help T1s (particularly eyes and arteries) and was never told that hypos might be an issue. I'm generally quite willing to do medical trials if they're of the low risk kind (eg extra eye tests during pregnancy), as I've got a lot to be grateful to the medical profession before (eg being alive). No idea whether I was on the drug or not but control and weight control seemed slightly easier then (probably because I had 8 months of libre use before I developed an allergy), but my GP was totally willing to prescribe metformin when I mentioned it, even enthusiastic. (I said I'd get back to her when I found out if I was on metformin rather than a placebo, but still don't know that.) Not so keen now. [/QUOTE]
