Hi,
So I was diagnosed about 3 years ago. My brother was diagnosed when he was 9 so I was aware of the symptoms so thankfully caught it early and managed to be in and out of hospital with no complications.
I started off religiously caring about hba1c and eating correctly, but over the years and with my job (shift work approx 65 hours a week) I find that my health has taken a backseat.
My most recent hba1c was 75 which is awful and I would like some advice on how I can bring it down!
I have also recently been prescribed metformin to take with my levemir and was interested if any other Type 1 has tried this and if it worked?
Thanks!
