[QUOTE="leeemerick, post: 902557, member: 56209"] Hi Guys & Gals, A type 2 insulin question... Been on insulin a year or so now. Lantus and Novorapid + 1500mg Metformin. Last couple of months I've been on pain killers for neuropathy (30/500 cocodomol and amytriptolen). My weights increased by a stone as a result unfortunately. I think my insulin sensitivity has nosedived or pancreas is waiving a little white flag? Lantus was 72u daily but creeping it up (76 at moment) and rapid I'm taking 25 - 35u at meals trying to keep my bg down (was using about 10 previously). Swapped to mostly low gi foods but still seem to be spiking on anything I eat. Bg is 10 - 12 when I wake up and stays at that till about lunch before dropping a point then shots up again after lunch. 3 hours after lunch I'm still about 10 or more. I'll keep increasing but seems when I do it doesn't work. I changed statins recently from Simvastatin to atorvastatin. Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated. I have been alot less mobile last few months since neuropathy has got alot worse. I struggle to walk for a few minutes before I'm in agony. [/QUOTE]
