[QUOTE="Pinkerbell, post: 547683, member: 64730"] I am worried about the drugs I'm on speeding the process, however I can't take metformin, I know it's not meant to happen, but my body reacted to it with multiple daily hypos (as low as 1.8 and regularly 2.5) and although it settled as soon as I was taken off it, they re extremely reluctant to start me on insulin while I'm sometimes seeing levels of 3.5 before meals and my A1c is 6.5% DSN told me insulin is too likely to cause hypos at this stage and I don't feel I understand the situation well enough yet to be able to question that. I think it's my reaction to metformin and low BP which makes them keep testing for Addison's, although all tests negative so far. They seem pretty convinced that something else is going on that no one's worked out yet... It's all a bit scary :( [/QUOTE]
