[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2400923, member: 372717"] Hi [USER=543110]@Jack111[/USER] and welcome to the forums. I think many of the forumites are asleep now so you may have to wait for European morning for more replies , but I can at least make a couple of comments. Firstly, how long have you been diabetic and have you had the tests to confirm that you are insulin resistant and over producing insulin (T2) rather than possibly some other variant. such as LADA, where you are actually under producing insulin. A recent c-peptide test might be helpful, because it would tell you how much insulin you are currently producing. Secondly, are you on any sort of low carb diet and if so, how many carbs a day are you typically having. If there's scope for reduction then that might help avoid additional medication. Good luck.
