[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2407973, member: 372717"] At this point I would be asking the doctor for a cpeptide test to see how much insulin you are still producing... Managing via diet and exercise for 18 years is awesome but at this point I'd be asking whether the issue is typical T2 insulin resistance or long term T2 reduced insulin production. And given the steps you have been taking, I wouldn't rule out the possibility that you have always been a misdiagnosed LADA (Certainly happens for ten years.) Not a T2 so happy to be corrected if I am misunderstanding the situation. The timing of the metformin may reduce the likelihood of gastro issues but not much else. [/QUOTE]
