[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2476014, member: 372717"] You can ask your doctor to put you on insulin, but it is very much a last line of treatment for T2s, and he may or may not agree to do it. Some people find it helps a lot, but others don't. In your position I'd really want to know whether my problem was insulin resistance (as in already producing lots of insulin but it just isn't working well) or whether my pancreas was starting to fail (long term T2s can start to produce less insulin). Insulin has its own issues (blood tests, hypos etc) and is not a magic bullet for T2 control. (My US cousin and his wife, both T2, are both on it. He finds it very helpful, she struggles with highs and lows.) [/QUOTE]
