[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1757999, member: 21149"] Hi. The c-peptide results are important as viruses etc can cause beta cell destruction as well as antibodies. The c-peptide will guide you on how much insulin you are producing. Your endo should know that insulin does not cause weight gain but it enables the body to metabolise any carbs you take which can cause weight gain. You are probably having too many carbs? Forget calories as they are irrelevant in weight control (this may surprise you). Just keep the carbs down and have enough fats, proteins, veg and non-tropical fruit to keep you feeling full. Metformin mainly works by reducing the liver's output of glucose. It helps control blood sugar just a bit and is a safe drug. I think you will find all diabetes is influenced by your genetics and there are many different detailed types beyond T1 & T2; some difficult to determine. If you can reduce your weight into a 'normal' BMI range it will help the endo find the correct diagnosis. [/QUOTE]
