My experience with Metformin.

Obviously, I'm on a pump, so I take insulin all the time, and it was suggested to me to go on to metformin a number of years ago, actually, for two reasons. The main reason being insulin resistance. So there is some people develop insulin resistance type 1s over time. So I've been obviously type 1 diabetic for a long time and there was some evidence that I was developing resistance to insulin. So I could have had more insulin or we could have done something else and obviously metformin has other benefits I've been told as well. Now every drug has positives and negatives. It was a very long time ago so I can't remember it but I remember going through the lists of positives and negatives and side effects and this is what I really appreciate with my interactions with the medical teams is it was my choice in the end. They told me the facts and they asked me how I felt about it and I thought on balance that metformin will be the right drug to use and I've been on metformin now for many years I mean so long that I can't even remember when I started. I haven't had any side effects from it, I haven't had to increase my doses of insulin for many years and it's been a positive experience. you
