Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lemonie" data-source="post: 990492" data-attributes="member: 29475">I am finally getting a grip on my diabetes.  I was originally started on Metformin which gave me terrible upset stomach and after 12 months I was put on Victosa and the Metformin was stopped.  The Victosa didn't work for me and I was put on insulin, Levemir and Novorapid.  I have recently started writing down everything to the g and the insulin just doesn't seem to be working for me as it should.  I have had readings in the 20's for over a year but nobody seems to be concerned.  I take 50 units of the Levemir at night and am taking 2 units of Novorapid for each 10g of carbs and 2 units per mmol I need to reduce and am still going up 2 hours after a meal.Eg:before dinner bg = 8novorapid = 10unitscarbs in meal 32gbg 2 hours after = 12.4I have just read that the insulin is usually combined with tablets as well as they help the insulin.  Is this always the case?</blockquote>
