[QUOTE="Cal M, post: 2329878, member: 358045"] My story echoes quite a few above. I was diagnosed accidentally with a UTI blood test Nov 2016. I was 12stone and fairly fit so started on Metformin immediately. Started a low carb high fat diet, lost 2stone over the next year but bg still highish, started Gliclazide. Still lchf diet HbA1c climbing. Reached 99mmol and weight dropped below safe BMI so had to demand Gp do something. Started on basal tresiba by diabetes nurse specialist at Gp Jan 2019. Still labelled T2 at GP. HbA1c now55. I am on Tresiba 14 units, 4 x metformin+ 2 x Gliclazide. Hoping I don’t have to start bolus insulin, one injection a day is bad enough and I can’t understand carb counting it must make you obsessed with food labels etc. Cholesterol was also slightly high I believe from 2years of Lchf diet. Reluctantly started statin at lowest dose. Hoping my next HbA1c will be lower but not that optimistic. Cholesterol was coming down before starting statin but still not ideal so will medicate till it is fully down then consider weaning off. [/QUOTE]
