Hi all
Well I have now seen the nurse at the hospital and she has stopped the tablets and put me on insulin ( Humulin M3 twice a day ). It was a bit of a shock to start with even though I was told it would happen eventually but I have to live with it and make the adjustment to my life.

hello Spurs lad

You can still work on good diet and weightloss. Some Types 2 have come off insulin once they get food and weight under control.

Please keep us up to date with how you are getting on

This is the first time for me on insulin and I started on 16 units in morning and 12 before tea, just had to up each by 4 units until I get into the range that my nurse wants me to be in. I am already starting to feel more like my old self. It is a bit daunting at first and a lot to take in but if like mine your nurse will be great and you will be able to contact her if you need to.
Good luck and take care ChelseyTBH.
