I’ve been using metformin for about a month and I am loving what it is doing for my total daily insulin needs along with helping me keep my BG’s more stable.

I started metformin about a year ago, but not for insulin resistance. Studies show it may reduce chance of cancer reoccurring.
But I have noticed better insulin sensitivity, and TDD decreased from 15 to 12, and seemed to facilitate losing a couple pounds.

My daughter with T1 has taken metformin since 2012.
