Diabetes Support Group

I have read that newly diagnosed are put on insulin U100 only at first to give your pancreas a rest and later Metformin can do he job alone. I am type 2 on insulin but did do all the different pills thru the years which made me sick so I finally told doc to put me on insulin about 9 years ago. Have had it for 25 years now. I am doing OK with the insulin. Count carbs and know my ratio of how many units for how many carbs. Best thing for you to do is READ all you can about diabetes and exercise daily. Sugar should be below 150 at 2 hours after eating. I am assuming you are on a 70/30 insulin which is harder to adjust in my estimation. Work with your doc and see a diabetes educator as they are super helpful in the beginning. It will all work out and is not the end of the world. Day at a time . . . .
