I was diagnosed about 5 years ago but the doc said I had probably been Type2 for quite a lot of years without knowing it. It certainly explained a lot!
I am on oral meds but my blood sugar is gradually rising and although I low carb and have since I was diagnosed, it seems to be not working so well as it was. Before my next 3 month check up I have to go get a blood test and I am pretty sure it will show that my BS levels are unacceptable. I was warned at the beginning of this that there might come a time when I would need insulin injections.
Now, I basically understand what the procedure is with injections, and I can't say I am worried about it all, it just seem like the next progression along this journey. What I am after are opinions please.
Who here can tell me if you:
1 Were you worried about changing?
2 Did you find it easy?
3 Most important of all for me...are there good things about this change? E.g. More energy, less lethargy etc.
So, good and bad please if you wouldn't mind
Thanks so much
