[QUOTE="JMoli, post: 2211178, member: 518411"] Hi, found out recently I am late onset and but confused as to what happens next. I’ve been on gliclazide for a few weeks (now max dose) and it took until very recently to get my numbers down. I was eating a lot to try and regain weight (lost during relationship meltdown) and gradually reduced my carbs. I’m still eating lots of healthy fats and protein and feel really good for it. The last few days have been around the 5.4 to 6.9 mark before meals (6.7 fasting this morning) and the nurse wants to start me on insulin next week. She thinks I developed diabetes in the last 2-3 months. Is it best to get started on insulin as soon as possible, would that be the healthiest thing to do? Also, I’ve been wondering why this all happened. Is there a link to stress? I did have the worst six months in late 2019, everything that could go wrong went wrong and on a daily basis. Sorry, I guess nobody knows for sure do they. Any advice would be great. Just ordered some books to swot up on things as I like to research everything and I’m scared of hypos with insulin. I’ve got a carb counting app and trying to get on the diabetes course. [/QUOTE]
