Hello
I have had T2 for many years, first on Metformin and then combined with Glicazide. Went onto insulin a few years back.
Take 3 types of insulin, Trulicity, Nova Rapid and Toujeo.
Am unable to cope well with testing my blood sugar, so it is done rarely to the point of never, my insulin is administered ant do that either, have had somewhat bad experiences with the Diabetes Care For you Team where I live, primarily around access to their clinics, am in a power chair, and so have given tying to get support other than just being given my insulin with the hope I don’t have anything go wrong.
Would like to turn this around.
I did try to get a Free Style Libre blood testing kit some years ago from the NHS but got told wasn’t eligible even though I wasn’t able to test MY blood, had high sugar all the time and didn’t and still can’t adminiter my own insulin.
Anyone out there who can put me on a path to get get help/support?
Thank you.
much respect
