starting insulin on Tuesday
I have had type 2 diabetes for about 15 years. Until now my a1c has hovered around 7. It has jumped to 9.5. So I guess I will be starting unsulin now and I feel defeated and anxious. I know it's a progressive disease but I always thought pills would be all I would need. I also suffer from chronic depression found a pill that really worked but upped my numbers so I take pills that sort of work and suffer through. Ok my question is does insulin make you feel better ie: less tired,less irritable. Does it manage the highs and lows better? Is it going to help? I am seeing my dr. to get started on it on Tuesday, anything I should know? Thanks

Hi richstacy. No it's not just you, my inbox has been flooded with dozens of old emails. I contacted the administration.
I'm glad your insulin has turned out so well.
