Hello everyone, Happy New Year, Paul here, new to the group.
I've been T2 for almost 15 years, been on all the usual meds upto December 2023 after my HbA1c crept up from 53 to 76 over 24 months.
So in Dec I began taking insulin, Toujeo and Novorapid at first, now I'm on FIASP.
In my opinion I have control over my Diabetes, but would like to use this forum to share experiences of T2 symptoms and how others are being looked after across the country.
I look forward to hearing from you.
 
Hi Paul @Pdsmcd and welcome to the forum - the increase in HbA1c suggests a move on to insulin was the right call - Although I'm type 1 I was initially on Novorapid but now on Fiasp, which I have found much better tbh - do you have a CGM to monitor things too?
 
Welcome to the forum @Pdsmcd

Glad to hear you feel you’ve got a good handle on your diabetes. Though, as a tiny point, many of us tend to think about managing our diabetes rather than controlling it, because there are so many other factors that can affect our blood glucose levels - some of which we have to work around (like illness or stress) because we can’t always 100% control them 🙂

Sounds like you are doing a cracking job though, and that the shift to insulin has worked well for you 🙂
 
Hi @Pdsmcd and welcome to the forum
 
Good morning @Pdsmcd and welcome to the forum. It's always good to hear some fresh insights on living with diabetes. One of the things I have learned since joining is how individual everybody's journey is, regardless of the type of diabetes.
