Hi @James1968
As you say, it is what it is, and enjoy your chrimbo.
Did they say why you have to go on insulin?
There are many reasons why and one of them could be how many T2s develop diabetes.
One of the many causes of T2, is hyperinsulinaemia. The amount of circulating insulin is too high and insulin resistance is high and pushes your blood glucose levels up, because of the high insulin/glucose levels, your insulin response has been effectively made weak. So every time you have a meal, the glucose derived from the meal will not be processed into energy.
Maybe because of the poor insulin response from your pancreas is the reason why they need to try you on insulin.
What tests have you had? C-peptide? Insulin? GAD?
Think I have had all of the above tests last time my bloods were taken so I will see on Thursday when I am at hospital
