hi there i've just read about people having to go on insulin for there diabetes, i've been a diabetic now for 44 years and the last 15 years been on two types of insulin and to start with i was gutted but when i look at my sugar glucose reading and i'm now below 10 and my yearly reading is at its lowest for the last 15 years, i'm glad i was put on insulin, for two reasons, first i couldn't control my diabetes, by diet control and then on tablets, my levels where like a lift up and down day after day,the second reason is that it work to control my diabetes, and by watching what i was eating, because i was a long distance lorry driver until 2009, when i slipped on ice and pulled three disc's out and trapped my sciatica nerves to which they are damaged and i'm in a lot of pain, so after having to finish work very early, i was able to managed to control my diabetes, diet, and bring my sugar levels down. so for anyone who is going on insulin, it may seam a bit scary, or embarrassing for anyone, but its there to help you to control your diabetes. All the best to anyone who is going on insulin for the first time, you will start to see the changes in your glucose readings.
