[QUOTE="SpruceGoose, post: 2279039, member: 526599"] Hey guys, this is my first post so I’m sorry if I’m breaking any rules on etiquette etc. so, I’ve been type 2 for four years, and always managed it with metformin and diet. I have my annual Hba1c review around spring time, but this year it was put off until June due to Covid-19. last year, my Hba1c was 52, this year it was 117. I’ve been referred to the hospital and put on insulin (12mg twice a day) - my appointment was on Thursday. I’ve been using the insulin as shown, 20 minutes before breakfast and my evening meal, but I’ve been told to measure my bloods and they’ve never been below 10, even after insulin. I haven’t eaten terribly. But I’m feeling very despondent about the readings being so high even after taking insulin. is this normal? Am I on too low a dose of insulin? I’m really starting to worry.
