[QUOTE="Keith_Simpson, post: 1975368, member: 401116"] It isn't easy to lose weight & keep it off but you will feel healthier if you succeed. Before I was diagnosed type 2, I actually lost a lot of weight without even trying but have since put it all back & failed to safely replicate the circumstances that enabled me to lose weight previously. Having said that, there is more to fear from the side effects of T2 medications than insulin. I was given Metformin & immediately developed Raynaud's syndrome [EXTREMLY cold hands & feet] which lasted the 6 months I took Metformin & then another 6 months after I stopped, when things finally went back to normal. Also with insulin they will encourage you test & so have greater detailed knowledge of what is happening; not just an HbA1c indicating overall where you are. It is that detail which ultimately is necessary to ensure better glucose control but they will only precribe test equipment & strips, once you are on insulin. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
