I was diagnosed type 2 in 1998 was 17 stone when diagnosed! Put on metformin 6 X 500mg daily ( 2 morning ,lunch and dinner) controlled never tested sugar was not allowed strips from GP as type 2. Then in 2012 started feeling **** had also started menopause and bang lost total control! Sugars in 20s always. Was put on glicazide as well as metformin. Sugars did not move. Was put on insulin combined pre mix pen twice a day. Sugars came down a bit then went back up. So two years ago was put on novorapid 3 times a day and levemir at night also on 4x 500g metformin and glicazide 2x20mg. Sugars dropped into single figures then suddenly bottomed right out and I was hypoing all the time. So was taken off insulin. Then sugars shot up again so back on insulin and metformin and 2x 40 mg glicazide. Gained some control briefly then sugars claimed again. I joined slimming world in July have lost nearly 2 stone. Am off glicazide but on 28 units of novorapid 3xdaily and 52 units of levemir at night plus metformin. Fasting sugar in mornings lowest 9.7 average 12 and always high before bed am at my wits end and so fed up
