[QUOTE="Jenny15, post: 1805705, member: 196992"] Thanks and sorry for not replying earlier, just seen this now. I finally managed to get my BGs going downward after starting on a low dose of long acting insulin (hopefully just short term) and getting past a UTI that was messing them up. I don't know how long I had the UTI but it could have been 1-3 weeks, at least. I don't get bladder symptoms until at least a week into the nausea and fatigue. Pesky things, they are. Because of factors unique to me, I decided along with my medical team to trial insulin so as to get faster results, to reduce the short term risks that come with high BGs. It may have been possible to get results without insulin but I didn't have the physical or mental energy to keep trying after 6 months of it. I put some links in my signature for the benefit of others, since there aren't many people posting about T2 insulin success stories here. I realize some people end up on insulin without trying dietary changes but I'm not in that group. [/QUOTE]
