hello
i am over weight and my doc gave me metformin to take along side my insulin to help with the weight loss. it does work and helps my control too.
what ever you do, do not stop the insulin. i had DKA a few yrs back, i have since had max laser in both eyes, have kidney problems and neuropathy.
the DKA was induced by very bad care i received in hospital a few yrs ago, the stupid doc thought a diabetic needed a glucose drip not insulin following surgery!
ask ur doc about metformin.
take care
kate
