You're scaring me with your logical attack on too much insulin. I had to stop using metformin and replaced it with a 12u shot of Lantus. During the day I take either a 2.5g or 5g glipizide before meals - to kick start my pancreas. So far, my numbers are usually good, except if I forget the glipizide.
From what you say here and in my other post regarding complications, too much insulin is about as bad as too much glucose for artery walls. Humm, got to think about this a bit. Heard that Byetta kind of acts like metformin but with the side effects. Humm, gots to think about this.
