Hi to everyone. Just started with humulus insulin pen 6g once a day. My glucose levels have been running high for a while so it was an inescapable decision really. I'm 70 a thin type 2 for around 15 years. Diet and exercise generally sensible and low carb and I don't have a sweet tooth. However some type 2 diabetics loose there pancreatic eyelets earlier, so the nurse has told me. Also she said that in this country we start insulin treatment too late a lot of the time. Only been on the insulin a few days. So far it's not made any difference to levels. Just wondering how long it might take to see any difference. Also considering buying a CGM as driving is currently a nightmare. Does anyone use one of these and if so are they an improvement?
