[QUOTE="Sadie_k, post: 2016601, member: 155222"] I’ve been a type 2 on insulin for 5 yrs. until recently poorly controlled. I suffer from horrendous thrush and thirst and was wondering if there is much I can do about it? My latest hba1c is 90 I think. Iam sure it was around 117 before that. My reading in the am are between 7-10 and the pre dinner are very sporadic 5-13 and again varies at bed time. Before this normally around 15-19 sometimes a lot higher. I try my best to carb count and have been trying to follow the low carb programme however I know iam not fully committed. Sometimes it doesn’t matter what I eat... Iam on nova mix 30 and have been since day 1 of being diagnosed. I inject 26 units before breakfast and the same again before dinner. I also take 1 500mg slow release metformin in the morning. I recently got taken off forxiga (sorry maybe the incorrect spelling) because of the thrush. Which iam on frequent medication for as it can take weeks to get rid. I also get bad insomnia. The list goes on to be honest but at least they aren’t serious... right? Please help, what am I doing wrong? Probably everything! Iam literally giving up, I have no support Due to see my nurse on the 12th. Thanks for reading [/QUOTE]
