Insulin for Type 2
I am a 57 year old surgeon. Type 2 for about past 20 years. Recently blood sugars,especially fasting, have been high. Above 144 mg/dl. Sometimes 225 mg/dl !!! So with my endocrinologist's help , I started one shot of long acting insulin Glargine nightly. PERFECT. my blood sugars now hover at 108 to 117 ! The thought of insulin injections used to scare me. Being a surgeon does not mean I like needles pointed at me ! Modern technology makes injections almost painless. Small sharp efficient needles. Mounted on a pen delivering metered units of insulin. At some time late in a Type 2 person's good life injected insulin becomes necessary. It helps to rest your overstrained pancrease. I share this to bring you the good news that insulin injections are simple and painless. Check with your doctor when you should give your pancreatic cells a good rest against insulin resistance. Use insulin. 😷😃
