Being cared for by my husband home cooked everything! But we have been struggling with my numbers but since my hubby has treated me like a T1 not T2 my numbers have been at much better levels instead of 15-20's, I'm now staying steady below 10's! Jabbing before I eat atm 24units novorapid and 74 lantus, just came off Trulicity for me it was very bad, blood when trying to pass stools constant constipation bloating, and never suppressed my appetite gave it a Good go for over a year but enough was enough as it messed with my stomach and other meds too much, I hope that my fibro and antidepressants start working as they should. I suppose if I were to give any advice would be too ignore anyone who suggests only test once every other day, you test test test get to know your blood sugars and different food which make them spike, and do not wait over a year if you dont feel right with any meds, remember we're all different which means our meds and ailments might have contra indicators too other meds, do your own homework just because your pharmacist gives you these pills and potions they dont always give enough info on how and when to take them, one D nurse told me I can only jab up too 10 units of novorapid, now yesterday when my hubby spoke to another one and told her he's treating me like a T1 instead of T2 she then admitted to him yes it can happen a T2 can on occasion turn into T1! I just thought I'd share my own experience, diabetes is poo though end of all we can do is educate ourselves as much as poss take care y'all x ✌✌
