Hello,

I have been a member for several months when I was put on Insulin. I am T2, diagnosed about 8 years ago. I started on diet, was ok for 6 years then suddenly lost control of my BG levels. Put on both Metformin and Gliclazide and then 12 months ago put on Victoza to both help with increasing BG and weight gain due to other illness. After my last HbA1c was 12% I was started on Insuman Basal, initially at 10 units at night in April. I am currently on 64 units at night but my morning BG levels are around 4.5%. In addition, I have lost over 3 stone in weight due mainly to exercising 5 times a week. I still need to lose 3 stone! I return to my doctors tomorrow to repeat my HbA1c.

I just got off insulin was on 130 units per day. My specialist put me on a no major carbs diet and I am now on 4 diabex tabs day and no jabs. Ask your doc about it.
