[QUOTE="RuthW, post: 875132, member: 148713"] My endo suggested Metformin to me last appointment, though I have no insulin resistance to speak of (TDD 25-30 units a day). He just seems to think its a good diet aid for Type 1s. I had just crept over 25 on the BMI. I refused to take it because in my googling I found people saying that it locks away your blood glucose so you can't exercise effectively while on it. Since my endo was saying I need to improve my muscle to fat ratio, I suppose he was thinking I could do it just by losing fat. But I can also do that by exercising and by putting on muscle. So I said no. [/QUOTE]
