I am on Eucreas 50/850 (which is 850mg metformin hydrochloride corresponding to 660 metformin, and 50mg vildagliptin) as in feb 2011 my HA1c was 10.3 and since then was never higher than 6.
I returned from spain to uk in 2013 and my latest reading was 7.8 which I put down to new lifestyle and diet which I plan to amend, however the nurse told me it was inevitable that I would eventually require insulin injections as that is the progression of type 2 diabetes as I am already on eucreas, this would be the next step.
I am in total shock as I had never been told this in the past. is this true? I am 65 and am overweight though not excessively so.
also when I said that I had been told to favour a low carb diet in spain, she disagreed with this advice.
