"I have surgically induced type 3c DM, and Metformin made me go hypoglycemic for hours. Yes, it helps with insulin sensitivity, but since glucagon production is also compromised (not equally, I may add), it isn't always possible to autocorrect for the lows."

"My long-time pumper here that got burnt out under the COVID craziness. Was not in a good place. Doctor checked my C-peptide and told me that I was okay to switch to orals. Been on Januvia and Metformin since April 2020, and my numbers have been nearly just as good as when using my Tandem/Dexcom combo! Some people complain about diarrhea or the pill having a fishy smell, but I have chronic constipation and lost my sense of smell after my last sinus surgery, so I haven't had any problems."
