My 15 yo daughter is a hybrid diabetic. That means she has insulin dependence of type 1 with insulin resistance of type 2. We treat the type 2 side with metformin which she said has noticeably blunted her taste. Insulin itself will not do that. She is on the omnipod pump system so she doesn't need Lantus. The pump gives an hourly BOLUS of about 1.05 units of Novolog. If you are taking metformin, that's probably it.
