Is insulin really only used as a last resort in type 2?
Ive had trouble with control since diagnosis, only with being on the high side really. I had my testing strips taken off my prescription months ago as I dont qualify for them being a type 2. So nowadays I test very rarely with the remaining strips I have left. I knew something was wrong just now so tested for a result of 29.9 mmol.
I currently take Janumet twice a day along with 2 gliclazide twice a day. Just wondering if the tablet options are running out, or if they have more up their sleeves? Sometimes I think itd be easier being on insulin as in this situation I could quickly bring it down.
My highest reading after diagnosis was around 419 mg/dl ~ 23 mmol/L. We are all different, but for me, no medication, no insulin, no exercise...just carbs reduction. So that is something to consider...should carbs reduction be the last resort?
