Type 1 means that your body cannot produce Insulin

That does not have any effect oin whether your body is also Insulin Resistant !

Heh, like normal I wrote an incomplete thought, sorry

I meant to say:
Since you are a T1 why would you be taking those pills and not insulin. It just seems odd that you weren't started on insulin right away. Further more why not go straight to MDI with a basal and bolus insulin.

I am more type 1.5. I started with meds only and then went on lantus recently. The doctor kept me on a couple of the pills in addition to the lantus, however, we just stopped the actos. some of the bloating has went down and I feel better....

Hi, this is absolutely nothing to do with the diabetes at all but i saw your picture and all your cute kids! how many do you have? Im sorry but I dont know from the post if you are mom or dad, just interested as id like to be a mom fairly soon and see it as a good sign if a diabetic had as many lovely non diabetic kids as you! (not that it would be the end of the world if they were but it would be nice if they werent obviously!)
