As well as oral medications there are also injections (such as bydureon, or victoza). Metformin on it’s own is the first step, I was on 2 other medications over and above those, others are on moreThank you.
My doctor has just booked me in for my HbA1c so i have three weeks to wait. Yes my mood has been awful, not so much lockdown itself but a combination of things mainly work related, that have made my blood boil. Just had five weeks away from work because of things...though the fact I'm working from home means that work is never far away.
insulin is a last step for many surgeries, and my nurse was doing everything she could do to make sure that wasn’t the plan, hopefully you will be offered other options depending on your hba1c
Many people do take insulin, it has its challenges but they are manageable. So I hope whatever the outcome you start to feel better
