[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1010475, member: 21149"] Hi. A lot depends on the rate of degradation of the beta cells. I was mis-diagnosed as a T2 despite being thin and went thru the three tablets Metformin, Gliclazide and Sitagliptin all on max dose in the end. They did work initially with low-carbing. It took around 7 years to get to insulin although it would have been useful to have started insulin 2 years earlier but my diabetes GP refused to accept I was T1. So, orals can work in the early days but it is essential to know when to give up and start insulin. The debate about sulphonylureas making things worse or not continues. The nurse is wrong to say orals have never been used as many of us were wrongly diagnosed for starters [/QUOTE]
