    Needle free help

    I'm T2 age 58 , Diabetic 10 years. Am on carb free diet now and have lost 10 kgs in order to avoid Insulin but my HBA1C is telling me I am on borrowed time. Weight is about 70kgs. Invokana makes me pee alot which is giving me borrowed time. I have read about needle free and even an inhaler.

The nearest I get is being told it "may" be available in months/years to come so nothing changes. I know I...
