Good morning
@Kyambala.
I am T2. The insulin I have been prescribed is Toujeo Double Star as a basal dose and Fiasp to take before food. These were prescribed to replace Lantus Solostar basal dose and Humilin S bolus, which did not seem to be working very well. The new ones are no better than the previous ones. I also take Metformin 500 mg after first and last meal of the day. Not sure if that is slow release or not. I've only just gone back onto them after stopping before endoscopy/sigmoidoscopy and blood test to ensure that it was safe to take them again. I have been advised that it is not necessary to take vitamin supplements, other than Vit D (bone specialist re potential osteoporosis). Our doctors simply refer to the diabetes (nurse led) clinic.
It seems that it is all a matter of opinion. One specialist's view is not necessarily the same as another's. Seems to be an art rather than a science. Anyone who has read my posts over the last years or so will know that I don't have a very high opinions of the medical services in Britain. Although much better than in some other countries, it is all a bit like the curate's egg.
As far as I am aware, night hypos don't happen to me. I think I would know since I don't sleep very well and have to wake up, due to arthritic pain, approximately every 2 hours. Day time hypos don't happen very often either, but they have happened - usually after accidentally fasting for too many hours. My problem is high BG levels most of the time.
Exercise also doesn't happen - arthritis is to blame for that. The best I can manage is to shuffle around the house as much as possible. This uses plenty of energy (and certainly makes me puff and pant), but I don't kid myself that it is enough to keep me even relatively fit, or help me lose some of the extra weight I am carrying.
