[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2411969, member: 372717"] The doctor can't make you take medication. But if you get diabetic ketoacidosis then you will die without fast treatment (I'm talking a trip to intensive care while they wash the acid out of your blood). It's not common in T2s but it is a real risk. If you won't go to a doctor now (I really urge it) at least test your urine for ketones. And remember that you don't even know that you have T2, you are just assuming it. [URL]https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/diabetic-ketoacidosis/[/URL] Please be careful. And you can start on medication and then reduce it as your bg levels reduce. Plenty of T2s on these forums have done that and come off medication altogether. [/QUOTE]
