[QUOTE="Ardbeg, post: 113724, member: 24122"] Hi diabeticblue, I've just read your profile and see you are T2. I'm a bit surprised you are on insulin; as a newbie I thought only T1 took insulin. However, having read another post on here yesterday, with links to two medical journals, it seems that some doctors are prescribing insulin to newly diagnosed T2's like myself from the outset. I'm still awaiting confirmation of my condition; having only just had my fasting blood samples taken at my GP this morning; but both he and the A&E doctor were pretty sure the results will come back confirming T2 in my case. Like most people, my initial reaction was to try and control this with diet only, but the more I read (this forum and various other diabetes websites) the more receptive I'm becoming to accepting meds from day 1 if that is what the doctor recommends. It is such a relief for me to have discovered this forum so early after my diagnosis; you have all saved me lots of soul searching and heart ache. You also all seem to get along well, which is unusual for forums from my previous experience. :wink: :oops: :lol: [/QUOTE]
