[QUOTE="DaftThoughts, post: 1360966, member: 317436"] It sounds like you're still producing a fair amount of insulin yourself, possibly the Lantus and your diet are leveled out just enough to make the oral meds effective for you right now, which means there's no real reason to put you on rapid acting insulin in the doctor's eyes. The same thing happened to me, but once I figured out my oral meds weren't cutting it anymore I went into a 6 month battle with my healthcare team to get Novorapid prescribed. Some doctors can be very persistent and stuck in what they think is right even when a patient has done extensive research. Do what feels right to you. Eventually the oral meds will stop working, how long this takes is an individual thing, but monitor your values closely so you can alert your doctor immediately and get put on rapid acting insulin quickly when needed. This is your health, you have the final say on your treatment! [/QUOTE]
