Hello
I am new in the forum.
My 25 -to#daughter was diagnosed with diabetes, they prescribed metformin and has dropped the levels remarkably.They have not yet confirmed if it is 1 or 2. Someone would know if the fact of reacting positively to metformin could be an indication of type 2?

I think so.
Type1 need insulin from the beginning. But there are also type 2 that, over time, have to use insulin.
In any case, the diagnosis is confirmed with antibody analysis and pancreatic reserve.

Hija de 35 años , diabética desde los 5. Glico: normalmente de 6 , pero 6,7 la última ( 6,2 marcaba el Free)
Fiasp: 4- 4- 3 Toujeo: 20

  

In general (at least that has told me most endocrine), if it is before 30, it is usually type 1. I debuted with 27. I hope I was wrong!

There are other types of diabetes, maybe your daughter also depending on the profile does not fit type 1 or 2. In the 2 especially if you have no other things such as overweight, cholesterol, triglycerides ...

That happened to me.My case is 2, but my case was as follows:
They prescribed me metformin because they still had to do the test if it was one or two.Then temporarily send it to you but if it is one, it will not help you.That will gradually inform him in the endocrine.At first, they thought it was one for being under 45 years, exactly 19 years.
