I have been Diabetic since 1991 and am now 83. Several years ago, I made a serious diet change. I went Vegan and the removal of animal fat and protein reduced my Blood Sugar and A1C significantly. In November of 2023, I started on Trulicity and them to Ozempic. I lost 30 KG (66 lbs) and further reduced my need for insulin. I also have the Abbott Lab Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) Free style Libre 3 plus. I can see the data on my Apple phone. Before I went to the CGM, I was doing finger sticks on one hand. I created method to keeping track of which finger to stick and where to inject. I never use the same spot twice in one day. I move around from left to right and back to always have a new area to inject. It is usually 8 days before I return to the same area on my belly.
