[Cath40]

Just thought i would post an update after having sugar levels in the 20s im now on insulin once a day and wow wot a difference my level is now in the 7s so very happy bunny i am now thanks for everyone who gave me advice in my last post you are really helpful.

As for the injections it really is nothing at all was really supprised how simple and painless it was i feel so much better my DSN nurse is really nice and i can ring her anytime i want so really pleased with things now.Think i am one of the lucky ones where i dony feel the need to eat all the time and im on week 2 now and not gained a pound yet so happy about that

Really great that the insulin isn't causing you any problems, and that it is working. You will feel so much better now.

 

[Cath40]

Sounds like you took to it like a duck to water

It's great if you have a good team behind you and, as you said, the injections aen't painful (I know because when I wastraining to be a nurse we were encouraged to inject ourselves with saline or water - wouldn't happen now LOL).

 

[Cath40]

lol yes i havent found a problem at all they injections are so easy to do and just totally painless it hurts more testing ur blood.

I am now on basal/bolus and doing much better, no longer spiking to late teens every time I ate the slightest bit of carbs. Most of my readings are 5s or 6s, my first 90 days A1C was 7.1 down from 9.2 and my software is now saying it is 6.6 so we shall see. I haven't gained weight either which is a huge bonus.
