Hi all, I am very new to this and really need advice from your experience with insulin. I am type 2 and was diagnosed 10 years ago. Have been on Metformin, Byetta and Victoza. My BG readings are between 16 and 30. Recent hba1c result should have been, I beleive 40 - 50, but mine was 121. I have now been referred as an emergency to the local hospital to go on insulin. I am 50 years old and weigh 17 and a half stone. I have recently lost a stone, but obviously still have a long way to go. I will be honest with you, I suffer with depression and when I am in a 'bad place' I binge on anything and everything. It is easy for people to say don't do it, but I just can't help myself. I am mostly scared of hypo's and weight gain. Does anyone have any advice for me please? I can't sleep at night with worry.
