[QUOTE="ann34+, post: 1358873, member: 94348"] Hi, Dillinger, i have spoken to diabetes consultants! Several times! And my GP, who specialises in diabetes! and i have read the recent studies! But all doctors say no to metformin for me, i am just too insulin sensitive already, they say. And they also made the other points re maybe for larger/heavier people, but not for me - i am just repeating what i have been told, very recently. Over the years i have been fortunate to see many consultants, and all have stressed the complexities regarding how injected or infused insulin reacts with numerous hormones in the body at any one time - some making the insulin even more potent, others having the opposite effect. I have understood that if one is naturally very insulin sensitive then all these factors make things even more difficult. And this is all before one adds in the effect of other chronic conditions. Things have been a bit better for me in the years on the pump - but most type ones in the uk are not using one, and the OP has for the moment decided against it. Re carbs, best wishes with low carbs. and for all who want/ can manage this, no problems. I myself do not feel at all well on low carbs, though i do keep carbs lower than i used to. [/QUOTE]
