Hi,
I'm new to this site and would appreciate any feedback from fellow posters. I have had Type 2 diabetes for 6 years and have been taking both gliclazide and metformin for approx 3 years. My glucose levels are not being controlled and are averaging out (after testing twice daily at random times) at about 15. My diabetic team have suggested that I begin to inject insulin. I would be grateful for any feedback as this is obviously a big decision and I'd like to know how other people cope with injecting and if it is a short term solution.
Thanks in advance,
Ruthie
