[QUOTE="Mep, post: 1015619, member: 211362"] Have you had the GAD & c-peptide test done recently at all? I always will ask this question to any type 2 because if you're only on basal insulin it won't work too well if you have insufficient insulin yourself. It will not do much to control the peaks you get with meals. You really need to be on both basal and bolus insulins if you have been placed on insulin because you are not producing much of your own anymore. I know some type 2's are possibly just placed on insulin to help control sugar without the diagnostic tests being redone. Here they don't tend to do that unless they can see you don't have your own insulin. So I'm on both lantus and apidra and no oral meds for diabetes as they won't work on me anyhow. It sounds like you may need to have a discussion about your insulin requirements with your doc if the basal alone isn't working. I wish you the best. [/QUOTE]
