| Thanks All,
15 years, so I was DXed in 1996.
My GP put me on two shots of NPH per day. That stayed the same through a second GP and an Endo. Actualy the Endo tried putting me on 70/30 at night. That was scarey!
I had lousey control, A1Cs in the 8-9 range, and the hypos were bad enough that I considered giving up my drivers license.
I finally had enough and went into Joslin where they seemed rather surprised that anyone was trying to live on two shots of NPH per day.
I didn't know there were other options.
But at least according to Saraspins timeline I could have been on Humulog and NPH MDI when I was Dxed. Lantus and Novalog MDI since 2001.
My A1Cs are reasonable for the first time and I have not had a hypo that I could not easily deal with since the switch.
If only I'd known.
