Hi, Newbie Here

Hello Everyone,

I am new here. Thanks for letting me join this group.

I have type 2 diabetes and take 2000mg of Metformin SR, 84 Units of Toujeo and varying units (16/14/14) of Novo Rapid. At the moment, my fasting bloods are running at about 12-14 each morning. Yesterday I saw the dietitian who directed me here for help and support with the hope that bringing my weight back to a healthy range will help my diabetes. Fingers crossed.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope to chat with you all again soon.

Sarah <3

Hi Sarah..... welcome to the community.... I take 2000mg Metformin morning and evening also Novorapid and Levermir insulin’s...... my blood sugars are about the same as yours, sometimes a bit higher, but I don’t worry too much about blood sugars except making sure they are in range for injecting insulin . 😀 xx
