Hi all,
I have been type 2 for over 2 years now. I currently take Metformin, Semglee (low release insulin of a nighttime - before bed) and ozempic (0.5 once a week)
I was taking 40 units of insulin at the start of January. I then started to take ozempic and I have had to bring down my insulin each week. I am currently on 10 units (and nearly 2 stone down)
The past 3 nights I have tried not taking the insulin as my sugars have been in the 4’s before bed and morning fasting have remained around 5.1.
Today my fasting sugars were 6.2.
In your opinion should I continue to not take the insulin or maybe reduce the amount again to 6 units? Whilst I have not been hypo - I just worry that with having sugars always in the 4’s that it could happen?
I welcome your opinion.
