Hi
I'm a diabetic type 1 since 5 years ago, I have had weight issues and I also feel I'm insulin resistance because I have recently tried to cut down on a lot foods and changed my diet as well as excersize but sometimes even with low carb I feel like I need more insulin... I have heard a lot about type 1 diabetics using Metformin to help with the extra pounds we gain and insulin resistance, however it's only stuff I have read online, I would like to know if anyone has tried etc and how was their experience , also I have noticed that the doctors don't like to prescribe metformin unless u have gained a lot of weight which sucks because I don't want to do that to myself or wait for that to happen if there's something or anything I can do before to prevent it, please let me know of anything u have tried because I only eat twice a day under 1200 calories I walk for about 2 hours each day and even than I haven't seen no difference
