[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1391817, member: 94045"] I doubt anyone can put your mind at rest, but it unusual for insulin to be given as a first line treatment other than in an emergency situation, and your medics don't appear to think that is the case just yet. (otherwise they would have admitted you to hospital). Your best bet is to find the best diet for you that involves cutting carbs as it is the carbs that cause high levels. Less carbs=lower glucose. I have little doubt at your next appointment you will be given more blood tests, so if you can show you have reduced your levels by diet you may be in with a chance of less strong medication. Have you bought your own blood glucose meter? That would be a good start so you can learn which foods your body can cope with and which it can't. [/QUOTE]
