Hi all.
Well after having it confirmed for a second time that im a type 2 diabetic, I have now been put onto metformin. I have to start on 1 tablet a day building it up over 2 months until I am on 4 tablets a day.
My insulin has been changed from novarapid to fiasp and from levemier to troujo I think it's called. Currently still waiting for the troujo as my pharmacist hasn't been able to order it in. (But that's another story)
I started metformin last night. I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience of taking this alongside insulin and if so how long before they noticed a difference? I'm wanting to do low carb but I'm worried about lowering the carbs incase metformin suddenly kicks in, if that makes sense.
Thankyou in advance x
