I Have been diabetic since 20yrs. I became a diabetic when I was given Danazole compound harmones to treat my endometriasis cyst. Since then I must have used whole lot of medicines and treatments to gain control. Tablets never worked on me for more than 1 or 2 yrs so I was put on Insulin. As my both parents were also diabetic I knew what was required of me, and adjusted quite fast. I an active person and walk almost daily for 1hr, morning and evening included. I am Homemaker by choice, but conduct home tutions and several craft classes in holidays for kids in the neighbourhood. My control over diabetis keeps shifting sometimes and my A1c ranges from 6.3 to 7 and 8 also sometimes . I have High blood presure too for which I am taking starpress xl-50 in the morning and Rosuvas-10 in the night.
Since 3 months I was detected with insulin resistance or the type of insulin was not working for me. I was in Mixtard 30/70 40 units and 30 along with amaryl 2 and metformin 1000 twise daily. At present I am taking Apidra solostar-24 thrice daily and Basalog 40 units in the night along with Glimperide-1 twice daily and carbophage-1 twice daily. I am continuing my walks as usual and I am on low fat nd low carb diet. I sometimes wonder what if I develop resistance to this tsreatment also..and this treatment is proving to be very costly as we are retired people.
