If you're having Type 1 diabetes, why are you prescribed metformin? Metformin is for type 2 diabetes. If you have type 1 diabetes and your blood glucose was through the roof, you should be given insulin shots, not metformin. I'm not a doctor but anyone with a basic understanding of the human body will know this. And you'd know this early in life because Type 1 is childhood diabetes.
UNLESS You're actually a type 1.5 diabetes, i.e. you have type 2 diabetes which then either through glycation destroyed your pancreas' beta cells (or they're simply exhausted) ability to produce insulin.
Naturally, the obvious solution here is to consume zero carbs. No doctor will recommend this because you won't need to go back for insulin, and right now you're a cash cow for them.
I’ve no idea, I had been prescribed with metformin and tranaligpin for years. Been to few different hospital, all these doctor gave me the same prescription. There are also one hospital doctor kinda gave me wrong diagnosis causing me more pain for few months.. that’s another story
It was working until it was not (because I didn’t control my diet -> roti canai, teh Tarik, sweet drink (chagee) Starbucks, latte.
And I don’t work out and exercise at all, too lazy and busy
Since I have 2 kids now, recent body fatigue motivate me to re do health check at one of most expensive hospital in vietnam (I emigrate here, as my wife is Vietnamese)
This new doctor when first visit and look at my leg ( wound that healed but dark) and medical report, was angry that I’m young and already had all this condition, she loook genuine.
So she said dont take metformin anymore:
1. No carb (rice, noodles, bread, fried thing)
2. Exercise
3. Take insulin and report to her every single time on what food I ate, the glucose level.
She will then advise me on the dose of insulin to take as well. She prescribed 1 month of insulin for me.
The health system here in vietnam:
Doctor prescribed meds, and these meds you get yourself either in hospital or outside at the pharmacy.
