Doesn't Richard use met also? I didn't realise "double diabetes" was that rare. But my questions are the same as Frank's - what happened to the IR?
Metformin can have an effect for 1 to 6 weeks after it is stopped, so I wonder just how long she was off Metformin when she wrote this.
We all may have a misunderstanding about "insulin resistance"
I have been using Omega-3 therapy for about 5 months and my requirement for basal insulin has not changed much but my carb:insulin ratio has changed from 2 carbs per unit insulin (1 carb without Metformin) to 14 carbs per unit insulin with meals without Metformin. That means my tolerance to carbohydrates has increased 7 fold with no change in basal insulin requirement. It seems like there is more than one element in "insulin resistance".
I started this to stop using 1000 mg Metformin per day which a doctor said was destroying my kidneys. I have done that now.
Today's Ref:
12:25 73 Aviva 73 mg/dl
black beans 12 net grams x 3.5 = 42 grams, 210 mg/dl, 42 / 15 = 3 iu, 210 + 73 = 283
13:40 novolog 3 iu
13:55 black beans, 2 grams ascorbic, vit/min, 14:04 finished can of beans
15:00 124 Aviva 124 mg/dl
16:13 98 Aviva 98 mg/dl
My mileage may vary.
