I was 37 when I was diagnosed with diabetes at 461 BS, a type 1 , not a type 2. Started out with 1 shot a day with NPH, then 2, then 3 and maybe 4. I was using NPH, Regular, and Ultra Lente. The last 10 or so years, I have been on the pump. You don't live your life around shots but the pump is not perfect. My BS runs between 50 and 350 and my A1C is aroung 7.5. I only average around 36 units a day of Humalog. I have been from 23 to over 600 BS and never passed out, I know I have been very lucky. I try to count carbs for my diet and about 10-15# overweight right now during the winter. My Dr wants me to run around 120 to 150 because of farming, climbing bins, etc. I have an insulin exemption Class A CDL. I am to test before driving and stay between 100 and 300 while driving.
For a type 2 that is running 200 is not good. They have more health troubles from the diabetes. I have friends on this new Lantis that are very level BS. I envy them that they are so level but everybody is different. Do the insulin or lose weight or whatever it takes to get your BS lower. The very best of luck to you. Things are so much easier today than 35 yeas ago but at 72 I am running out of energy more often.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
