still confused?

Thank you for that information! I have been searching online for so long and that really is the best short, simple, and direct answer I have heard about type 1 diabetes. I understand that I had no control by getting it, but are there any specific reasons or things that happened to me even internally that may cause type 1 in anyone?

Also, like I said I was misdiagnosed at first, so when I found out about the type 1 my doctor just up-ed my perscription of Metformin to 4 time release capsules a day, all at once. He said that he doesn't know if it will be months or years but I will eventually have to be on insulin. Is this because I will become imune to the medicine or what? My blood sugar levels are usually steady but still higher than he reconmended. What level would you say is high enough for me to contact my docotr again and possibly have to be dependent on insulin? (Usually between upper 90's and 150's-ish)

Thank you so much!

-Claire
