Hi @Dio2 and welcome to the forum. I don’t see how your current symptoms can be attributed to the single shot of long acting insulin. Long acting insulin does not last 5 months! Your symptoms do sound like those you could get with diabetes but we can’t diagnose. I really think you should go back...

Very well done! Keep up the good work!

I have mine done twice a year and that’s what NICE recommends for type 2s. They say “Measure HbA1c levels at 3–6 monthly intervals until the HbA1c is stable on unchanging treatment, then at 6-monthly intervals” Here’s the link to the NICE website...
