[QUOTE="CherryAA, post: 1585855, member: 327005"] If there is any way you can do this without insulin injections you should give it a try. Insulin is definitely needed for those who no longer have a functioning pancreas for whatever reason, however that is usually quite a long way down the line . Many diabetics are diagnosed many years before that has happened. You can ask for tests to check just how much insulin you have - both fasting insulin and c-peptide test but even without these the chances are you have a lot of insulin already, just that its not working very well. You don't say what your starting figures are, or where you are now . By way of example mine was 90 on diagnois, 42 now , no drugs just proper LCHF diet. I'm not alone. If you don't put glucose in in the first place, you won't need a drug to eliminate it ! that comes from cutting out the carbs and processed foods and replacing them with a diet of real foods focused on above ground veggies plus meat, fish and diary, nuts and seeds to taste. If there is anyway to stay away from the medication it makes a lot of sense to try because its so much better not to be dealing with the side effects. It took you years to get to the final diagnosis you have, so a few months experimenting with diet alone is not going to make much difference in the scheme of things and basically the success rate here is huge, so no reason to suppose you are any different from the rest of us ! good luck !
