Insulin would also help your remaining insulin producing cells survive for longer. Tablets can wear them out and lead to less than good control.Your weight loss and inability to regain the weight suggests your control isn't as good as it could be. I lost a lot of weight before I was diagnosed but regained it all quickly once my body had the insulin it needed. I only took tiny doses to start with, but that made all the difference - both to my weight and to my HbA1C.To be blunt, I'm not sure why your doctor is trying to use tablets to control your Type 1 when it appears you need insulin. Even blood sugar levels slightly above normal can cause complications over time.</blockquote>
