Have been type 2 diabetic for 12 years have changed medication a few times and I changed doctors once and diabetic nurses seem to come and go . So differing opinions is not helpful.
I have been taking insulin for two years in conjunction with four Metformin from four a day .
slow release insulin twice a day
And nova rapid before every meal .
Three months ago new nurse dropped me down to two Metformin a day . Which helps with number 2 issues And added one 10mg of empagliflozen. Which removes sugar in urine ( diabetic staff swear by this one .)
Moving on nurse leaves surgery step in new nurse
Review today nurse ups my empagliflozen to 25mgs
And tells me to carry on with same insulin BUT INJECT AFTER MEALS she said always after never before so have I been given wrong info for two years
All opinions thoughts welcomed
