Medication

Hi Bre , did your doctor tell you why you need such a verity of medications? Is there any specific reason behind it? I take just two types Janumet 1000/50 and Diamicron 30 . For me , Insulin will be the last resort .

@bre5

Is your "sensible" diet high in carbs and low in fat as advised by your doctor/diabetic nurse/nutritionist?

Perhaps if you give us an example of a typical day's diet we may be able to suggest improvements.

Diet is low carb and average fat

Unfortunately, that already is a sensible diet. I was hoping that you would be able to reduce medication by reducing your carb intake.

Have you discussed the possibility of going on insulin instead of the cocktail of medication you are currently on with your doctor.

I must admit I also think of insulin as the last resort but I can appreciate why you are raising the question in your case.

Unfortunately, I do not really have an answer for you.

All the best
