Yes I've heard of Types 1's taking Metformin and Insulin. Also heard where some Type 1's need very little Insulin 10 units or less a day I figure a real protein diet and not many carbs would put you way down there.

I bet your body could be trained to function a lot less carbs than the average 20th century diet. I've heard that the Worlds Populations Carb intake is gradually making them sick and disease ridden.

I imagine the 2 different diseases are not picky and you could get both at one time or another. I imagine a Type 1 letting there BG run High for awhile would cause Insulin resistance.

When I was reading Pumping Insulin 4th Edition I saw mentioned that it is not uncommon for a Type 1 to later also obtain either from genetics or otherwise Type 2 and have both diseases just as Type 2's at time later obtain Type 1.

Wow a double whammy.

I have an awful lot of Diabetes in my family and also an Aunt that just came down with Lupus that is autoimmune also so their must be some wild genes running through my family.

I wonder if there are any Type 1's here in this forum taking Metformin and Insulin?
