[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1968610, member: 345386"] [USER=465433]@NaijaChick[/USER] - Could I just check my understanding of your thread, please? My understanding of your initial post is that you and your partner would like to have a baby, but your bloods are running pretty rich, so your medics have suggested insulin. You are wary of being on it forever, so you want to know if if you start you could perhaps stop again at some point? Is that it? Assuming I am interpreting properly, there's no doubt getting your blood numbers down is very important for conception, a healthy pregnancy and healthy baby at the end of it all. In terms of the numbers you have now; do you know why they are so high? I don't ask that in a confrontational basis, but sometimes we can really get caught on the hop. Are they always as high as you describe at the moment? However, now to answer the specifics of the question you ask, we have had several T2 members here who have been able to come off insulin, having started for a variety of reasons. Some start right from diagnosis if they've been quite unwell with things. Others have other medical conditions, requiring drugs that make their sugars tricky to control and others have begun insulin in exactly the circumstances you describe - either pre-conception, or when they develop gestational diabetes. We have even had folks able to come off all diabetes drugs altogether, in time. It strikes me that the path to all the things you want (in my interpretation) is getting those bloods down a bit. If you need it, insulin is just another tool. Sometimes we need the sturdier tools in the toolbox. Let us know what the Doc says. [/QUOTE]
