[QUOTE="pollyr, post: 1242810, member: 27547"] Hi I am classed as T2 as was originally when diabetes was diagnosed. I have since had a very serious bout of acute pancreatitis which put me in hospital for 6 months, approx. 8 years ago. Since then I have been on insulin as my pancreas was very sick and needed a rest was how the hospital described it. At present I feel that I am over prescribed and have also lost about 14 lbs in weight making me around 9st 8lbs. My BS levels seem not to require nearly as much insulin, I take 20 units of Novomix in the morning and 30 in the evening. Evening used to be my main meal of the day but mostly now this is at lunch time. I was considering asking my GP if it would be possible for me to stop taking insulin and go back to the oral meds, ie Metformin and Glicazide. What advice could any of the forum members give me prior to visiting my GP in two weeks time and what sort of discussion should I have. Thank You Pollyr [/QUOTE]
