Recently diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes

I've tried adjusting my insulin dosage and increased my bedtime snack so my glucose level doesn't drop so fast but it doesn't always help, partly because of my renal disease plus a slow GI system which sometimes slows nutrient absorption and sometimes speeds it up. Docs and I have tried various things but none of them helps all the time. Sorry not to be more helpful but I struggle with this situation daily.

Hopefully one day there will be a cure. It’s a very intricate balance between hormones. I am only on Metforminwith dinner at this point. I also take 2 kinds of thyroid medication. One at bedtime. I’ll be asking lots of questions at my June 27 th appointment! Thanks for your help.
