[QUOTE="petina, post: 742095, member: 148720"] [FONT=Tahoma]On 16th November last year I was admitted to Hospital with a blood sugar level of 43, believed to be steroid induced. Released a few days later with blood testing equipment and a prescription for insulin starting with 6 units morning and evening. The insulin dose was slowly increased and I now inject 20 units in the morning and 18 units in the evening. The result in that my blood glucose is regularly normal with occasional spikes to 8. something. After my next hospital appointment I will probably be referred to the diabetic nurse at our local GP practice. She has already written to me suggesting I make an appointment to discuss medication. It will probably be a couple of months before I actually see her but wondering if she will want t put me onto tablets. I suspect this may be the frontline treatment but am quite happy with the injections and one reads of unpleasant side effects with metformin etc. So what are your experiences ? do I have a choice ?
