Hi, I have been type 2 for approximately 20 years. My blood sugar was always well controlled, but last year I noticed it started climbing. The first couple of doctors I saw did not seem very concerned, I was told until it hit 300 there was nothing I should do. That soon happened and I was consistently between 200 and 300. The next doctor I saw added Farxega to my meds. It helped a little but not much. About 2 weeks ago she started me on basil insulin. The effects have been dramatic. I am consistently between 130 and 170 with an mmo/l of below 8 every morning. I recently started reducing my metformin and stopped Tradjenta and the results are still in range. My doctor told me that it is not unusual for this to occur for long time type 2 diabetics. I recently found this forum and have found it very useful. The key for me was finding a doctor who took the time to work with me as it was a bit of a journey to get to this point. She also had me see a kidney specialist and that has been quite insightful.
