Glucophage has been around for more than 30 years, and if there is any danger, it is that you don't need meds in the first place. Don't go endangering your health by almost cutting carbs out...your liver will respond by pushing out more glucose...and you can't control your liver...it has a mind of it's own.
Glucophage/metformin only makes your body more sensitive to the insulin you make (or inject). A Type1 means that you are insulin dependent...are you on insulin..? What is your control like..? Eve
