I started on Metformin, and Glilazide, added on Dapagliflozin, my Hb1ac started to creep up, I was on maximum Gliclazide, maximum Metformin. The practice nurse referred my do my GP (she had specialised training in diabetes) and after discussing all the options and talking things through with the hospital DSN, between them recommended I drop the glicazide reduce the metformin, and start insulin. The first insulin i tried for a month my BG was all over the place,, so between the practice nurse and the DSN I ended up on Lantus and Novorapid. Over about 6 months i finally got my Hb1ac from 58 down to 52, and ist remained at 52 for about 18 months, my target was actually 53. Recently I have had to adjust my insulin, and although not checked my Hb1Ac the sensor is estimating it at 48-50, possibly due to other factors, and after having a heart attack and being prescribed aspirin and ticagrelor, and high does statin.</p></blockquote><p></p>
