I was first diagnosed with T2 in 2007. I have been on oral meds (glimepiride and metformin) and was successfully managing my diabetes. My numbers started going haywire and I now am on Lantus. It has taken a while to find the right dosage, but ultimately, my diet is very important in this fight. My doctor wants my fasting reading in the morning under 120. I started a healthy eating regimen a few days ago and so far, so good. My readings have been 101, 94 and 91. That is with 65 units of Lantus each evening. I'm glad I found this site and I really like the app on my iPhone.

Welcome to the Forum!

I try to keep my fasting numbers between 70 & 99.

Read through the first three threads in the Type 2 Section, when you get a chance, if you have not already done so. These threads will most-likely help you a lot. Self education is one of the keys to successful management of your diabetes, along with a healthy / sensible diet and exercise. Basically, diabetes requires a life-style change for the better. Good luck with your control and management.
