Struggling Diabetic.

Thanks to everyone who has posted replies on here to my post. It is nice to know that people seem to care. I will post my insulin levels and blood sugar results on here tomorrow night. Once again thanks for the responses.

Far diiferent situatiom for a type 1 if a few decades... And it is very difficult to tighten the reigns than by taking 4 metformin tablets...

Sorry, sounds harsh, but Rob as a struggling type 1 is really needing ways from type 1's to help him.

It is a struggle for a T1 to regain better levels.. We can't jyst add a tablet...
 
@donnellysdogs, in fairness to Shirl Bill type 1's can take Metformin to help with insulin resistance, some members of this forum take this drug to help with their diabetes management.

Yep, I agree. Sorry. I did think I sounded a bit hard to be honest... Sorry...
 
@forge, the OP is a type 1 so there's no chance that he can come off insulin, also insulin doses can be adjusted by one unit and even by a half in some cases, just thought I'd point this out.
Thanks @nobleIhead for pointing theT1 T2 out

I only tell what my experience is and it is up to anyone to see how it applies to them.

I am not qualified to give advice but I can state fact.
