[QUOTE="Mep, post: 1586398, member: 211362"] Hi Colin, I've been on insulin since beginning of 2010. I was taken off all oral meds though because the c-peptide test result showed I no longer produce sufficient insulin. As a result I was placed on both the basal (long acting) and bolus (short acting) insulins. I noticed an improvement straight away... most likely because of what I mentioned about fact I hardly produce insulin and I was finally injecting it. Although getting the dosage right took a few months, as well as getting the right insulin for me. The first basal they gave me didn't work the best... so my endocrinologist decided to put me on lantus instead and I've been on that ever since. It's still work in progress even years later because I'm dealing with other health issues that impact my diabetes management. I'm sure you will get some good results soon enough. I wish you the best. :) [/QUOTE]
