| Hi Sandmdc!
With all the problems you are having with the Met, the important question is: Is it working? Simply put, are your daily finger stick test results showing a reduction in BG levels?
If not, you should get the C-Peptide test to determine if you are actually Insulin Resistant. I know I've said this before, but I'm running into more-and-more people being diagnosed as Type-2 by their MD's and when they get a C-Peptide done they find that they are not IR at all, but have low to no insulin production. Met, which increases insulin sensitivity, doesn't do any good if you don't have sufficient insulin to start with - all it does is make you feel miserable.
