Started on the usual metformin, that was ok for 12 months. Then my HBA1c started creeping up so they started adding more tablets into the mix, over the years I’ve been on empaglaflozin, glicazide, linagliptin, semeglutide, tried Mounjaro but had bad side effects from that. The most recent tablet she’s put me on is pioglitazone. I spoke to a DSN who works on the ward I work on at the hospital and asked her advice what to do, she said Pioglitazone is an old fashioned treatment which is rarely used now only as a last resort. I asked what I should do next and she said to consider insulin. I’ve tried the low carb eating, hasn’t worked wonders. My HBA1c in September was 77. I’m due for a repeat in JanuaryAny advice or opinions on insulin is greatly appreciated</blockquote>
