[QUOTE="Kezzer4321, post: 738454, member: 124303"] Hi Jazz01, I too have suffered with problems from my gums due to my T2 diabetes. I honestly never realised that high BS affected the teeth and gums as well - so like you it was a major shock to me. I really dont know if the Dr will let you go on insulin if you ask but I assume that if you tell your dr you are struggling to control your diabetes with the medication and diet you are on, she/he might consider it. But are you sure that insulin is the way you want to go? Going on insulin means you will have to declare your diabetes to the DVLA etc and this can affect your car insurance, travel insurance etc. What about trying to lower your carbs instead for a period of time? This helped me to manage my BS levels and although I cannot undo all the damage I have done to my teeth, I now no longer have any major problems. All this was achieved in a very short time. [/QUOTE]
