I am not able to take trulicity type medication or Jardiance medication after difficulty with reactions.
I am now on Tresiba and Glipizide. Plus metformin. I am wondering if my CDE/NP will suggest insulin like Humulog. Anyone else have an experience like this? Where did you end up. I eat well,exercise 73. I spiked after meals. I worry about my limited vision .can the print be enlarged on this site? Thanks,Nancy 50
That technique should work on any web site with unreadable text; I’ve been short sighted since birth (no sniggering please, ok go on) I face a constant battle with web site readability. What I said in big letters shouldn’t be specific to FUD which should be the same size as everything else but the way web pages work it is easy for things to stop working.
Ok, back to diabetes 
I don’t think your NP will suggest Humalog; that depends on your HbA1c which is a long term (well, 3 month) measure of overall “control” of diabetes. If it’s very high then using humalog for meals might be suggested, given the spikes and this might be a lot better for you.
It all depends; every one of us is different (I’m not just talking about diabetics here There’s a saying “YDMV”; Your Diabetes May Vary and it’s always true. There are lots of people who can help with personal experiences here; mine are as a Type 1 (I don’t make insulin) but my wife is Type 2 (massive spikes after eating, sometimes) but we are all different so more details help find people who have the same sort of diabetes.
I use an iPad , especially for accesssbility. I have been running around 7a1c. I used to be 6.5 to 6.8. Thanks for responding. I have been a member of TU diabetes for many years. This change will take a bit of getting used to thank you very much.
Yeah; this sounds like my (T2) wife’s experience so far. She was original declared many years ago to be “pre-diabetic”. We don’t have the records but I’m guessing she was running a high HbA1c but below 6.5%.
Only very recently did she go past 6.5%, then, well, diabetes. Her condition is certainly progressive; the post-meal (“post prandial”) spikes have been getting worse even though she mostly follows something derived from my T1 diet (as a T1 I have massive post prandial spikes).
My general advice is to get a CGM and use it; it doesn’t cure the condition but it gives us information which allows us to see what is going on. All of us are different but the medicine treats us the same. CGMs uniquely just give information, not something every doc wants to part with.
I have a freestyle Libre 3+ ,love it. I also do about 5,000 -6.000 steps a day. Just tough after being stable for all these years. It certainly makes life interesting ,thank you Nancy 50.

I can spread the emails to enlarge the print, and dictate my answers. Problem solved Nancy 50.

It’s great to have someone here, on FUD, who has “accessibility” problems with the web site. My own problems are miniscule but I fear they will become much more significant in my life.
I can’t remember whether it was TuD or FUD where there was one user who used a braille interface. I found her input incredibly valuable to me; I write computer software.
That was @Jen who was a valued member both on TUD and here. She hasn’t been active in a while but hope she’s doing well and we hear from her again
