Does anyone worry that some meds may hasten the requirement for insulin ?

[QUOTE="lucylocket61, post: 2441358, member: 41885"] right. Let me understand: he was a type 2 for 25 years before going on insulin for the last 5 years - is that right? What were his blood sugar levels/HbA1c like over the 25 years before insulin? Was he on diabetic meds over the 25 years? It is quite possible that the damage was slowly continuing during those 25 years before insulin, and then he reached a critical point (indicated by the loss of feeling in his toes) and the insulin kept him going for another 5 years. Without the insulin he could have got very ill faster. I am thinking that you may be under the impression that it was the insulin which harmed him, when it could be the other way around - the insulin gave him more time. [/QUOTE]
