I also have a mitochondrial mutation that causes Maternally Inherited Diabetes and Deafness, but for the purposes of treatment I am T2. I'm a moderately overweight (not obese) reasonably active woman in my early 30's who also has PCOS

I take Metformin, Alogliptin, and Empagliflozin. Before that I was taking Pioglitazone instead of Empagliflozin. My blood sugar was fantastic.
