I have had diabetes 24 years and have been using an insulin pump for 14 years. I have decent control (A1c between 6.3 and 7 this year), but I do have hypoglycemia unawareness. I have heard that metformin is an option for type 1 diabetics because it helps insulin work properly in the body. Is it possible that if I use metformin, I might lower the amount of insulin I use? I thought this might help me prevent hypoglycemia.
