[QUOTE="Jenny15, post: 1799354, member: 196992"] I started insulin last week and today started to see signs that I'm finally lowering my BGs after a nightmare 2 year period that did permanent damage to my body. I can answer any question you like about it but I want to make two points. BGs between 7.8 and 9 are elevated but not severely elevated compared to a lot of people. What was your A1c like last time and for the previous couple of times? If you are able to achieve and maintain a fasting BG between 4 and 7 and an HbA1c under 48 within a few months, then you might not need insulin, but I'd need more info before I could say any more than that. I have found that even when posting in this, the insulin sub-forum, there are still people who come in to quiz me about mentioning insulin as a T2. There are strong feelings about the subject, even though many of the people are unlikely to ever face the kinds of decisions you and I are facing. If you want to discuss it just with people who use insulin, it may be best to do it by private message. It's a shame people have to do this but I'm just putting it out there for you. [/QUOTE]
