Hi.
I was diagnosed Type 2 a little over 5 years ago .
Initially started off on Metformin , but was switched to Gliclazide and (sigh memory fails me) after about a year .
Hba1C had been gradually increasing every 3 months.
Fell off the wagon a few times.
Got depressed for over a year.
Climbed back on the wagon
followed a healthy lifestyle , only to have HBa1C's continue to climb.
Finally (8 weeks ago) started on Insulin (Humalog Mix 25). 30u before breakfast and 30u before evening meal.
What a miraculous change in me , my moods are 1000% better (except for today as I have got the worst case of man flu in the world ever).
Have a few concerns still.
I work with kids with emotinal and behaivoural problems. We had a few instances , when a child has 'kicked off' (meaning they want to trash the room etc...) and I find after we have calmed them down , I have had a Hypo. Same thing happened 1st time I did PE with the kids ( now know to reduce insulin on a PE day
)
Ohh while I think about it , does anyone know where I can get a small container for some dextro tablets that I could hang from my ID badge/keyring whilst at work ??
Well thats me
TTfn
