Any Type 1 or LADA on Janumet and Insulin? Help

Type 1 and LADA
1

I’m 4 months into my journey and confirmed type 1 or 1.5 for now. The Doc has me on 8 units lantus a day and wants me to keep taking Janumet which is Januvia/metformin. I have been reading tons about oral pills and type 1’s and am thinking it may not be a good idea. Are there any other type 1’s or LADA’s out there whao take insulin and an oral type 2 drug?

I’m not over weight and in my best guess not insulin resistance. Actually now i’m down to my HS weight. Doing lowcarb. Any thoughts or direction would be great.

Thanks,
Krueger

There is nothing theoretically wrong with trying long acting Lantus with Januvia/metformin. I’m only responding to the theoretical side. If your average goes down to 80 with dips to 60, let him know. One or the other dose will have to be lowered. I’m not on the combo, so I’ll defer to anyone on it regarding what numbers the doc says to call him/her at.
