I was diagnosed with Type 2 in 1998, and manage ok with basal - bolus of Glargine and Novorapid, and metformin 3x daily
No problems with injecting which I do fairly on schedule
No problems with finger pricking as such, but I'm fairly lazy and don't do it as often as I should
I also take lisinopril to control blood pressure
I used to take a statin to control cholesterol, but got awful side effects after several years - tiredness and aching legs - so I've stopped
Problem is I'm overweight by one or two stone and can't seem to lose it. Whenever I try to diet I go into hypos. Thought I'd try a forum for a bit of encouragement and suggestions
I'm 63 and something of a technophobe; just got my first computer a couple of weeks ago, so apologies in advance if I don't follow the accepted procedures, or delete half the threads or something!
