I was on oral meds for diabetes for 5 years and I did feel like it was a case of "do this or pay the consequences" type of warning.  But by the time I went on oral meds my diet and exercise alone wasn't working for me.  I think personally I was already starting to lose my insulin production when I went on oral meds.  The last couple of years on oral meds for me was like I was almost on nothing to help as they changed dosages, etc... but still not much improvement.  I'm thankful I found out why and now I'm on the right treatment.   I know it's frustrating... I find all the diseases I have frustrating to be honest.  It's hard to get effective treatment 100% of the time.  Hopefully your doc will work with you though... you know your body best so make sure you let them know what you agree with and you don't.  Push for answers if you need them as noone else will.... you're the best advocate for your health.  I wish you the best. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
