Hi Richard!
I believe I'm a double diabetic, just like you. Type 1 and insulin resistance. The other month, I attended a study about Type 1 and insulin resistance.
My doctor hasn't given me any medication to deal with the insulin resistance. I'll ask him about Avandia. Did you lose weight taking these meds? Has your need for insulin decreased quite a bit? I used to take 85 units of insulin a day, since day 1 and my A1c was still in the 8% range. Now I use around 65 units a day, because I eat low-carb (my doctor is not happy with that
I still need to lose quite some weight and it really irritates me that it's so hard. But I also believe that the amount of insuline is the trick. What do you think?
