Moved onto Insulin and terrified!

No @SimonP - it's still exactly the same very longstanding joke - that we all only ever change our lancets once a year whether we need a new one or not, same as when we have to have a bath. Lancet Change Day worldwide is St Swithins Day annually, so if you didn't do that this year, you'll now have to wait till next year!

I was told I would be moved onto insulin as I had 3 very high A1c's in a row. I told them I could virtually guarantee my A1c would be dramatically better the next time as I had done the research they failed to supply me with. Cut a long story short my A1c went from 80 to 55. And the move to insulin they suggested was unavoidable never happened. I realise your story may be a bit different. Just sayiin'.

Hiya how long did it take you to get down to 55 please and did you have extra meds to help you? Thanks

Hi @SalopianLass

I wasn't given any extra meds. Although I have been on 3 for some time. It took me about 3 months. But from looking on here that's not unusual. I also didn't change my diet much so I could have done better. I drove down the result with exercise mainly. Although you'll see a lot do it with a low carb diet. Which is understandable as not everyone can do the workout that is required.
