[QUOTE="TorqPenderloin, post: 1017894, member: 211504"] My first thought is to ask you exactly how many calories you're eating each day. You mentioned it was below 2000, but the BMR of the average 58 year old female is around 1200-1300 calories/day. Eating even 1500 calories could explain the weight gain you've experienced. It's my understanding that Metformin is occasionally prescribed to overweight type 1 diabetics, but it sounds like you have a long way to go before you're considered "overweight." I realize 1200 calories isn't a whole lot, and it's more like 950 calories when you account for the two glasses of wine you're drinking each day (~250 calories). If you're not willing to adjust your diet and don't want to give up your glasses of wine, that really only leaves one option: exercise more. [/QUOTE]
