[QUOTE="Peppergirl, post: 1436707, member: 330374"] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=3]Hello I've been recently in the same boat, with similar ratios, even eating low carb. Decided to try metformin 500g x 2 daily. Been on this for 4 weeks, no issues apart from a minor rash on my back (cannot be certain it is the metformin) which went after 4 days. I believe it takes a few weeks to settle in and the last week I have found I am more sensitive to insulin, so have been reducing my basal, now on 22u from today, was 30u, gradually decreasing every 3 days. My bolus again has reduced, happy with 2-3u per 10g. Don't worry too much about side effects, that's what put me off for years TBH. I just needed to try something to reduce my weight as well and so far, so good.[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
