Hello - I am Barbara I live in London but Hail from the West Coast of Ireland. I have had Type 2 Diabetes for a good few years that was being managed with drugs and life style - but recently I have changed to Insulin and this new route is not without its problems!

I hope you are all keeping well in this strange time! and I look forward to getting some good advice even at my age I am keen to learn!

Best to you all

Barbara
 
Hi Barbara and welcome to the forum. As we say round here, you are nobbut a lass, so join in and show these young whipper-snappers a thing or three.
 
Hi and welcome from another Barbara.

Yes, insulin can be a bit tricky at times. Makes you realise just how clever your body was to balance it all without you having to give it a thought before diabetes came along to rain on the parade.

Which insulin(s) are you using? Just wondering if you are on a mixed insulin or Basal/Bolus system? Are you carb counting and adjusting your insulin doses or on fixed doses? Is there anything particular you have difficulty with?

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. 🙂
 
Hi Barbara, welcome to the forum.

Lots of great advice and relatable experiences on the forum so feel free to take a look around and let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
 
Welcome to the forum @Barlon

Are there any specific issues you have experienced around using insulin.
Some find the move to insulin makes things more flexible.
What insulin(s) are you using?

Keep in touch and fire away with any questions that you have.
 
Welcome to the forum @Barlon

What sorts of challenges is insulin throwing your way?

We have a number of experienced T2 insulin users on various different insulins, plus a number of T1s and other insulin users with rarer forms of diabetes, so your struggles may be familiar to forum members who might have experiences to share
