Message: <blockquote data-quote="Trinkwasser" data-source="post: 41104" data-attributes="member: 11875">Sympathies, actually adult onset Type 1 (LADA) is commoner than childhood onset but it can be hard to convice some medical professionals of this fact.You really will need a full basal/bolus insulin regime, often LADA can have a slow progression compared to childhood onset and sometimes insulin production can still be detectable after years but will be insufficient to deal with eating. Metformin is essentially useless unless you also have high levels of insulin resistance which is uncommon unless you are particularly overweight, a few unlucky individuals get "double diabetes", Type 1 and associated IR but it's rare.Your pancreas is still probably producing randomish spurts of insulin and that and your diet may be causing highs and rebound lows, hence the symptoms.</blockquote>
