[QUOTE="Barbt 2, post: 2495854, member: 547914"] I’m getting so weary trying to sort out my blood glucose, and am really hoping that I might get some help from you lovely people. This is my first post, so please forgive me, if I’m raising questions that have bee Since being diagnosed as T2 about 4 years ago, my readings have become so much more erratic. I started off on a cocktail of all the usual meds from Metformin to Sitagliptin and Gliclazide, but glucose continued to rise and I had a big dramatic weight loss. I was switched to insulin about 18 months ago, and I currently take Humulin I - 12 units in a morning and 8 units at night. I am self funding Freestyle Libre as there is no help for T2 patients, I’m told. [LIST] [*]I walk between 4 to 5 miles every morning, and during that time my bs very often drop to around 3, and I have to have something to boost sugar. Before lunch, I’m usually stable at between 5 and 7. [*]However, when I eat lunch - usually crisp breads and cheese - and then have a cup of coffee in the afternoon, my readings are up to 14 or higher by evening meal time. [*]I then have Humulin injection and have evening meal, after which my readings can be as high as 18 by bedtime. [*]My HBA1c is 7.4 which I think is due to the fact that my lows in a morning, balance out the constant highs. [*]I also have an autoimmune liver disease PBC, which does affect my liver function. [*]I have recently seen my Consultant, who didn’t really offer any ideas re my concerns. Her only comment regarding reducing readings after lunch, was to walk again. Bearing in mind my age - 70 - and the fact that I walk daily, I found myself leaving the appointment totally disillusioned. [/LIST] I really need some advice, and just want to have better control of my blood glucose, to stop this yo-yoing. Am I worrying unnecessarily? Any help would be very much appreciated. [/QUOTE]
