Hello

[SustainaLady]

Hi thanks for adding me. So I had gestational diabetes 21 years ago. Then I became type 2 diabetic on tablets about 4 years ago. Trouble tolerating some meds and they were not working. Been on insulin since April. Struggling most with food balancing. Anyone else in similar position?

Welcome to the forum
I think this is something many struggle with if Type 2 but taking insulin as your own insulin production can make things more tricky to balance.
I do not take insulin so will leave it to others to offer some guidance but it will help if you say what insulins you are taking and when and what dietary regime you are following. How are you monitoring your blood glucose.

Hi and welcome.

Which insulin(s) are you using and when do you inject it/them?

Insulins vary in their action profile and human bodies vary in how they respond to carbs and insulin, so getting the right combination of insulins to suit your body and diet is important and can take a bit of experimentation.

How do you monitor your levels? Finger pricking or a CGM sensor?

What difficulties are you experiencing with your levels? ie. Are you high all the time or Yo-Yoing between high and hypo?
