[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1510157, member: 21149"] Hi. It is surprising that the hospital has made the leap from Metformin to insulin without going thru the sulfonyl ureas such as Gliclazide. I agree that someone should be doing the GAD and c-peptide tests. My surgery, in fact the DN, started me on insulin with no problems. There is nothing against going from Metformin to insulin but you may find you only need small shots to start with. BTW I'm assuming you are not overweight? If you have a lot of excess weight you will almost certainly be T2 not T1 and need to seriously reduce the carbs. [/QUOTE]
