Thank you. I hope this is working for you........ Im on one levemir injection a day, 20 units,(6.45 a.m) and 2 x 500 Metformin. My GP is happy that my diabetes is under control. However I am concerned with certin aspects of this regime.

I have changed my routine. If this works I will seek advice, if it works. Watch this spot
 
I’m T2 for more than 10 years. Now on 2 x metformin 2x day. And Toujeo insulin at night only. I’ve been on Libre2 CGM for 3 months. I have also been on Mounjaro for 3 months. My BG is now well controlled - 48 is my latest HBa1c. My insulin dose has reduced from 95 units to 40 units in 3 months. I don’t understand why this forum is not more popular, perhaps it needs more moderators?
 
@Johnbennett Hi thanks for sharing. Im not sure how rare 1 time users are. There aren't many answers.here. My story is this, I was thought to be a possle Laada in 2021. Then type 2. I contacted a dietician doing private work online during NHS lockdown . After some lengthy diet and readings work she told my Doc I needed insulin. So from late 2022 I took one dose 20 units Levemir pen at 6.30 a.m and 2x Metformin with dietary restrictions.
I was nt happy so @ end of 2025 I contacted our new diabetes lead doc re Levemir closure. He worked with me to lower my readings to 5 - 9 (some hypos). Now , about 10 days ago he started me on Humilin pen at 10 units _ for 4 days, then raise to 12 units until 6pm readings are 5-9 Im on 16 at the mo, bug all results have been lowish with occasional 10+. And 2 x 3.0. At the end ov the week I will send in all the results for 6pm - Doc s wish. And await his adjudication
 
Hi, it’s taken me more than 10 years to finally get a GP and diabetic nurse to take more interest in my diabetic journey! My journey with Mounjaro is just starting and I am very satisfied with the CGM of Libre2+ and I now feel I am getting somewhere. I have issues with weight and exercise is limited due to damaged vertebrae in lower back, so it’s bit of a mission. Good luck in your journey!
