Type 2 (8 yrs) now on insulin. Arghhh just got back from my check at the Drs, the nurse has totally deflated my joy that my HBA1c has fallen for the second time since starting in insulin last August. Last June I was at 107 on the max dose of various oral medications which was clearly not working! Tried & failed (extreme reactions) with both byletta and victoza. So the specialist team put me onto novo mix insulin. First test after insulin dropped to 77 with no weight gain, now down to 68 still no weight gain. I know I still have more to do to achieve optimum levels but a little bit of praise would have been nice, but no all she could say is that is very high not good enough. I now feel like having a good cry!
