Hello

[John__ch]

Hi all,
I thought it was time to say hello and tell you a bit about myself.

Well, I'm John and moved over to Northern Ireland from Scotland a couple of months ago.
I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes about 9 year ago. It was diet controlled until 3 years ago.... My GP had sent a letter to my hospital telling them I did not have (or ever did) have diabetes and they had gotten the diagnoses wrong.
All my yearly checks had been stopped... Then a year past last Jan, I ended up in hospital, where they found my bg level was 38! Was very quickly told I was diabetic and started on oral meds. Ended up on 3 different tablets but nothing was working, so was started on Lantus (10u at night) and NovoRapid (4u before meals)

Fast forward to now...
I am now on MDI, 44 units of Levimir at night and NovoRapid for meals. My insulin to carb ratio is 1:6 during the day and 1:8 for nights (dinner)
Average bg is 8, so still some tweaking to be done.
Hope to be an active member here and not only get help but try to help others.
John

Hi John and welcome to the forum. I am fairly newly diagnosed (august this year) when I went to a health fair at work and my BG was 26.6. Swiftly sent to dr's and diagnosed as type 2, Ive just been put onto my second lot of tablets and not much is happening with regards to my levels. Im hoping that will change soon. But anyway, welcome and enjoy.
