[QUOTE="MarkMunday, post: 2274064, member: 525839"] The important reason for starting insulin as soon as possible is that it helps preserve remaining beta cells. So you make more of your own insulin and and controlling blood glucose is much easier. This is a limited window of opportunity that will close quickly. And it can't be reopened later. High blood glucose kills beta cells. On the technology issue, it helps to learn the ropes without it. It gives a better understanding and creates productive forward thinking mindset. Technology doesn't make it easier either. For me it was the opposite. I have used pumps and CGM's and being free of the technology after returning to MDI and test strips has been liberating. [/QUOTE]
