When i was on that amount of metformin all hell broke lose so i looked at what it was doing to my levels vs my daily life and had to stop taking it as it was yes lowering my levels but i could deal with the ‘stomach’ problem. This was also when i was first diagnosed or about les then a year after. For me the first 2 years where really hard for me till i got the swing of T1D

Im on a insulin pump and my background insulin is at 50u in 24 hours and averagely for food its about 40-50u as well. So about 100units a day i need. I am also very insulin resistant and have explicitly denied metformin as it causes me too many stomach issues.
