I have a meeting with my nurse on Tuesday. They will discuss my different insulin options. After reading all the info on insulin, I would like to hear from the forum. My experience in the last 10 years is that I had to self diagnose ( my doctor called me a type A diabetic, I eat by my meter and self manage as best I can) Thanks to the forum I have been low carb for 3 years. Here is some basic info.
I am 48, t2 diabetic, in menopause, overweight. My sugars till beginning of this year was perfect. I started to pile on weight from last year even with exercise and low carb. Nurse told to just carry on as normal. I am now out of oral medication options. I was put on highest dose of gliclazide and were so ill last month with huge spikes from 18 to lowest 3.8
Since coming off the gliclazide last week my sugars has stabilized. I had only one reading above 10. My sugars are all between 9 and 7.8. I feel the best I had in months no nausea, headaches, dizzy spells and my energy levels are up. I am much happier. What do I need to ask?
Any feedback on your experiences going on insulin would be very welcome.
