[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 993323, member: 30007"] The actions of the medical team are not coincident with a normal Type 2 diagnosis. They are more in line with type 1, MODY or LADA (type 1.5) diagnosis. The usual course of action for type 2 is to offer diet treatment or to start someone off on Metformin. However you have a complicating factor in that you have some form of Kidney dysfunction and they may have decided to use insulin straight away to ensure that your blood glucose levels have been reduced to the right level ahead of surgery and to ensure that no further damage occurs to your kidneys. It's certainly worth having a conversation with the DSN regarding this and everything else you've mentioned. [/QUOTE]
