[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2332610, member: 345386"] LittleGreyCat - I am reliably informed (by an Endo Consultant, albeit who was talking about the REVITA DMR Trial at the time) that there are over 400 combinations of medications that can be given to those living with T2, prior to going onto insulin. Of course, so of those will be in the lump of meds you are looking to avoid, but I feel confident there will be others that do not. Please note it is 400+ combinations of drugs, not 400+ individual drugs. Sometimes GPs have open minds and take on a challenge when prescribing, and others seem to have a core panel of medications they prefer to prescribe; quite possibly because they are familiar with them. Nobody really likes to go outside their comfort zone. You could always ask your GP what he/she considers your next steps to be, but not accept any prescription (if even offered) there and then, allowing yourself to research the options before agreeing a way forward - whether one of those suggestions or not.
