Nice result there  congratz.. My previous Hb1ac was also ~ 11 (hehe lost the Blood test liao  ).  Anyway, my FBS reading since I started insulatard since 2 wks ago avg 4.2 to 5.8 depending on what I took the night b4. Super happy with the reading. I never ever dream of reaching this level 

However once I touch breakfast, my random BS after 2 hrs shoot up to ~ 9 and once I touch lunch, 2hrs later avg ~ 14 and for Dinner, also ~ 14-16. Meaning all the drugs that I took almost useless dy.. (On 1.7g metformin & 320mg dimicron (glicazide)

By this Friday, most probably I will discuss wth my Doctor for another dose of Insulatard (Works wonder to me) on mid Morning after food    By then, I probably continue my Metformin at 1.5g and no more dimicron liao 

I can't take >1500mg/day otherwise sure lousai  very sever stomachache ...Hmnnn type 1 mostly insulin why u on metformin?

If you type 1 diabetes, doctor should start you on the insulin right? since type1 diabetes is lack of insulin
btw I'm meeting the doctor today, let me see if I can ask is there any sponsorship program or clinical trial that can include outside patient.

I believe losing weight is the best and only way to control your diabetes.
