[QUOTE="searley, post: 2422867, member: 31377"] I'm replying as someone that 'thought' they were type 2 and was classed t2 for 9 years I rushed onto insulin and in hindsight in the same position I'd try not to get on insulin as fast and try some alternatives.. While I agree some t2's have no choice but to go the insulin route I believe if you can avoid it then try to Yes insulin will get your numbers down and get you in more control now but many that go on insulin find weight gain an issue thus increasing insulin resistance and making it more difficult to come off... along with other considerations. Other thing you could discuss with them would be bydureon or similar which is intended to help reduce weight whilst helping with bg control.. im not saying this is even something they would want to consider but just don't dismiss other options without discussing them first as there may be a better option to insulin. Good luck [/QUOTE]
