[QUOTE="CESM, post: 2270850, member: 521785"] I’m on two types of insulin for my recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes. Since taking insulin my blood sugars have dropped dramatically and my 3 x daily readings are within 4.2 to 6 before each mealtime, so are within the 5 to 7.9 target set by my diabetes nurse (my doses have just been reduced to try and get me up to 5 from 4.2-4.6 readings). However, since I’ve started on insulin I’m getting a lot of migraines, which I used to suffer from for years but which dropped off for the last 5-6 years prior to diagnosis, and I’m also getting a lot more “normal” headaches. Is this something that often happens when people start to take insulin? If it is common, do the headaches and migraines stop when our bodies get used to the insulin? [/QUOTE]
