Does anyone 1 use metformin?

Hello everyone, I would like to know if someone from the forum takes metformin, apart from insulin.
I would like to know how you are doing and your experience.
Thanks: d

Hello
Metformin is usually used in polyquisical ovary syndrome, as therapy to combat insulinators because the production of glucose of the liver decreases and increases insulin sensitivity.

In type1 its use is not usually common, except in cases of mody or lada diabetes, or in certain cases of insulinators.

Thank you Owas, the truth schered it did not know that it was used in patients mody or lada.
I have prescribed it to me, and I want to know if someone from the forum the take.
I insist if someone tells me something else I would appreciate it.
Greetings: d

Hi Samira,

I imagine that you are interested in being able to exchange experiences directly with someone who combines the two therapies and I think I remember that in the other forum there was someone who was using it, you can try ....
I know several types 2 in metformin treatment but no type 1 and what I have read about metformin has already told you Owas that is, that type 1 is associated with insulin to counteract the effects of insulinators and derived problems (obesity, disorders of appetite, ..) and that like every drug that boasts is not exempt from collateral effects, in particular it is not necessary to overcome a certain dose and have the creatinine values ​​under control.Statistics give very positive results.

Anyway, I hope you can find more information.

A hug and a kiss to the little one !!

Thank you very much, Kalua, the truth, the truth is that they have told me that it is going very well, for the diabétes theme, but of course, it has somewhat unpleasant side effects, apparently it can cause diarrhea and badly be abdominal type gases and I do not feel much fancyThe idea is part of monitoring creatinine.
I have not tried yet, because I am finishing another treatment for something else and I do not want to mix, but in a few days I will start and I will tell you how it goes.
It is true that I have a few kilos left :)), and that is why they have sent me to take it, but if the remedy is going to be worse than the disease, I am staying as I am !!!: D
Greetings to everyone

Hello Samira, I am type 2 and since November I am with meformin, at first fatal mortal diarrhea I had to go to the emergency room, the luck was that the doctor who touched me is diabetic type 2 and also takes meformin and gave me a trick and evenToday, look, you have to take it after eating the last bite and meformin and not take anything at least in an hour to be possible in two, especially if it carries fat (ejp the milk of the coffee) and so there is no mingunnproblem.I hope I have helped you, take care of yourself

Another thing there are days that you have but it is normal to endure

How well Maripili, what did you tell us your experience !!

Thanks Maripili!Although I have my mother of your example, which is type 2 and also take metformin.
I insist that if someone is in my same situation, I mean, type 1 and with metformin, let me know. And if you do not want to make it public that a private sent me.
I have not dared to start: Oops:

Samira, surely the collateral effects, especially the intestinal disorders I say that they will be in relation to the dose, seen that you already use insulin and metformin is only a help I do not think we go against who knows what rule if you start with theHalf of the recommended dose and only once a day and then adjust ... you also reduce insulin (basal and rapAbove all, you can check without risks how it behaves with insulin ...

I understand very well how you are right now, you remind me of my first day with Lantus+ Humalog (I wear it or I don't put it on, Ains ...: D)

A kiss !!

Hi Kalua, beautiful!Yesterday I wrote but went to the gate, in fine, things of computer science.
Well, I already started with metformin, I started Friday and the truth schedmoment of collateral effects, to escape on Saturday, but well. I will still tell you.
Glycemia have not improved much we say, the truth is I lifted more or less the same.Let's see if it is a matter of time and adjust basal and others.
A kiss and thanks for the help.

Samira, brave;)!

You will tell us ...
What a good holiday!

Gracia Kalua !!!See you on the route;)
All the best

Samira:

I am a diabetic since 2004 with 3 By Pass.I was diagnosed 2 until 3 months ago that they decided that my pancreas did not work anymore and went to 1. My treatment includes insulating and novorapid plus 1/2 Metformin Ap immediately after lunch and dinner.The reason for metformin is to attenuate insulinor resistance.The unpleasant consequences are eliminated (at least in my case) when ingesting it as I said immediately after meals and with some compressed from Loperamide every 2 or 3 days.
I hope this comment serves you.

Hello, Fatima.
You are my countryman right?
I can't help you about metformin, because my daughter doesn't use her.

I recommend that you give you a turn of the forum.There is a section called "Ruta de la Plata" in which you will find our countrymen.
In this forum people are Maja and we all help each other.

Welcome home

Hello Samira I am type 1 diabetic and I have taken metformin x many years
I would like to find out about my married

Hello everyone, I am Type 1 and I carry with metformin over 10 years.They put it to me because the specialist says that it loses weight in addition to the fact that I have insulin resistance.
The truth is that as for the weight I do not notice much and what is usually noticed are stomach discomfort (feeling of being scrambled, some diarrhea, etc.);But they told me not to stop taking it but reduce something the dose that today is 1.5 pills daily.
With them I improved glycemic control and with them I continue since it seems that for that they are going well.
