Type 1 & metformin

Hi

Not posted for a while but things going well and readings between 5 to 7 most of the time.
On humalog and ratio is 1:20 carbs. Use levimir twice daily.

Diabetic nurse also putting me on 500mg modified release Metformin tablets - 1 a day starting next week
Any other type 1 also taking Metformin with insulin. Seems odd to me.

My humalog ratio changing to 1:30 carbs as well.

Have to keep an eye on any side effects and hope this isn't going to interfere with drinking as well .

It's still a bit confusing to me .... Learning everyday

Sometimes my readings go down to the lower 5s and when out walking and drinking and eating I rarely need insulin at all. I do alot of walking .

One minute she says I could be on honeymoon period and next they say I could be type 2 but don't need to loose weight or I will be invisible ... They cannot figure me out
