I’ve been reading the forums the past few days and have learned so much. I decided it’s time to come out of lurking 🙂
I"m 38 and diagnosed Type 2 October 28, 2009. My A1C at that time was 10.1 and my FBG was 290. I started with Byetta twice a day and a month later Metformin (1000 mg two times a day) was added. Bloodwork last week showed my A1C down to 8. I know it’s a big drop downward but I’m still very stressed that I can’t get my FBG below 200 most days.
Friday my nurse practitioner put me on 10 units of levemir at night to help bring sugars down. I’ve tested the past 3 mornings and not a bit of change on my FBG. She won’t see me for another month and told me to only do the 10 units. I feel like she is not being agressive enough in helping me get these fasting numbers down. I’m looking for advice from people who have been there and how I need to approach this. I don’t want to spend another month with such high FBG.
I can’t wait to check out the forums and read as much as I can from this very educated group of people!
