Hi,
I'm type 2 and after nearly 2 years on ever increasing oral medication, I was put on 'levimir' 4 months ago. From starting on 10units/day I was up to 170units/day on Sunday. My BS was still fairly constant at around 9-11 before breakfast. I was so depressed at pumping over a full vile of insulin into me every two days and still not reducing my BS, that I just stopped. After three days, my BS level is still around 9-11 in the morning, so taking the insulin seems to have no effect whatsoever. (I still take my oral medication of 4 x Metformin/day and 30Mg Atcos/day plus various other pills for cholesteral, BP etc.)
I haven't confessed yet to my medical team about me stopping my insulin.
What next?
