Just for starters

[theoldmanonabike]

I've had type 2 for 41 years, all that time on insulin, lately on metformin as well. Over the years I've been unfortunate in developing most of the side effects that are available to the unwary. Right from the start I involved myself in the voluntary sector, working to support others like me. I chaired the local support group for 30 years, and I started, with two others, the appeal which led to the creation of a dedicated diabetes centre at our local hospital. I have trained to facilitate various courses to aid people with chronic conditions to be better able to manage their condition, and I suppose I will continue doing this as long as I am able.

Welcome. When you say side effects, are you talking about insulin side effects, or diabetes complications? What type(s) of insulin do you use?
