I have to see consultant on Monday, but nurse thinks I am insulin resistant, I current take 850mg x 3 daily of metformin and lantus at night of 47 units. Breakfast lunch and dinner I take apidra @ 12, 15, and 19 units. What does anyone think will be the next move for me???

it sounds like you're a T2, insulin resistant and carbs go hand in hand AFAIK

Evidence is inconclusive for an ideal amount of total fat intake for people with diabetes;
therefore, goals should be individualized; fat quality appears to be far more important than quantity.
In people with type 2 diabetes, a Mediterranean-style, MUFA-rich eating pattern may benefit
glycemic control and CVD risk factors and can therefore be recommended as an effective alternative to a lower-fat, higher-carbohydrate eating pattern.

Insulin increased, but Forxiga wouldn't benefit me as sugars too high. It was offered at last 2 consults
