| | | Actos and t1??
My last A1c was crappy, so the DR decided to put me on 15mg of Actos a day, with my insulin.
Any t1's on this?

| | Sorry your A1C was so high Kitkit.
I was bummed out over mine going up to 7.8. I feel your pain kiddo. Hang in there. We will work together to get both of our A1C's down.

| | Actos and not metformin? I didn't think Actos did anything for Type 1s. I know it didn't do anything for me except make me gain weight.
