Hi everyone, Happy New Year!
I’m Type 1 for almost 40 years. My Dr put me on Metformin hoping I might have greater insulin sensitivity. I couldn’t deal with one horrible side effect. It did such a number on my intestines that I got to a point where I was afraid to go anywhere. Plus I never saw any benefit in the form of increased insulin sensitivity. I took myself off it after several months. What a relief.
I’m wondering if there’s something else I can ask for for help. Is there anyone else who couldn’t tolerate Metformin but was able to do another diabetes drug with success? I need help! My insulin requirement is up to 100 units a day. Even with that I struggle.
