[QUOTE="Monty19, post: 2279831, member: 302929"] Thank you for such a quick reply! And apologies I’ve just re read my message and I wasn’t clear at all! Initially I was on metformin 4 years ago after diagnosis.( 2 tablets) Responded well and lost 2 St 12 lbs over 2 years . HbA1c 44 - then last March HbA1c was 46 , then in Sept it had gone up to 51 And metformin was increased to 4 a day . In December HbA1c was 46 . I had a sickness virus in February. Then in March this year HbA1c was 93! My blood sugars in early March were 18.6 on my meter! I was taking 4 metformin a day at that point and surgery put me on aloglyptin too as so high. No change over 7 days so ended up at hospital clinic when they put me on Novomix Insulin at a dose of 10 twice a day initially. Now on a dose of 3 in the morning and 4 in the evening. (my blood sugars, testing 4 times a day have been in 4-9 range for the last month.) Nurse at hospital wondered whether I was type 1 but consultant thought probably not ( no blood test yet though because of COVID) Diabetic nurse now suggesting I move to a base insulin twice a day and add quick acting depending on my meals carb content. Hope that is now making sense and giving a clearer picture. Thanks for your patience! [/QUOTE]
